Weekly Photo Challenge: Hope

Hope. This tree, if you look closely, is growing out of a drain. That drain is on top of a train platform overhang. Cement for miles, yet this life took root here. Hope from me taking the picture & still finding wonder in these things, and hope from the tree, to grow.

Share a picture that means HOPE to you! 

New to The Daily Post? Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’re invited to get involved in our Weekly Photo Challenge to help you meet your blogging goals and give you another way to take part in Post a Day / Post a Week. Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

Here’s how it works:

1. Each week, we’ll provide a theme for creative inspiration. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog anytime before the following Friday when the next photo theme will be announced.

2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “Weekly Photo Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use a “postaday2011″ or “postaweek2011″ tag.

3. Subscribe to The Daily Post so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements. Sign up via the email subscription link in the sidebar or RSS

  31. Here is my weekly challenge Hope photo.

    Sorry it is so large. I am new to this and will have to learn how to edit better.

    • It’s easier if you create a post on your page with the photo embedded, instead of giving the direct link to the jpeg. If you check out other’s entries, you will see what I mean. Creating a post for your image will also allow others to like and comment on it.

  35. Here is my second entry into this weeks’ Hope photo challenge: “Rising Sun” at
    https://fstopfantasy.wordpress.com/

    Hope is when the rising sun pushes the dark clouds away.
    Hope is when the seeds of yesterday rise up and push towards the sky.
    Hope is when the bright rays of daylight push the dark clouds of ignorance away.

  72. Here’s a challenge to the ones that are interested!
    I need photos of tattoos for a serie of articles that I’m writing on “The history of Tattoo”.

    I want photos of all kind of tattoo styles (& sizes);

    Classical american / sailor tattoos
    Biker
    Prison tattoos / homemade
    Japanese
    Cover-ups (before and after pics appreciated)
    Tribal & celtic
    Punk
    Pop-surrealism
    Portraits
    Religious

    If you’re interested:
    Post a link to your pictures in this post (or email them to me), and I’ll use your photos as illustrations in the coming articles.
    Needless to say (but I’ll say it anyway): you’ll be credited your photos and I will link to your blog.
    http://cardinalguzman.wordpress.com/2011/10/25/photos-of-tattoos-wanted/

    Any help would be highly appreciated!
