Community. When I think of this word, I imagine all sorts of scenes: A family sitting and chatting in a living room. Crowds gathering in squares to watch a holiday tree lighting. Or even some of the spaces on the web that I frequently visit, like The Daily Post.

But community doesn’t necessarily conjure up images of people. I took the image above on a recent layover in Seoul, South Korea, in a mall complex in Insadong. I noticed a communal wall of thousands of trinket and ornament-like offerings, many with scribbled messages. The place was cheery and welcoming, and I could imagine all the people who’d walked this path before — their stories, their relationships, their hopes and dreams.

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 (a new post!) 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 the “postaday″ tag.
  3. Follow The Daily Post so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements, and subscribe to our newsletter — we’ll highlight great photos from each month’s most popular challenge.

  8. Marketplace, wares, hawkers, gawking, haggling:

    “I took one Draught of Life —
    I’ll tell you what I paid —
    Precisely an existence —
    The market price, they said.

    They weighed me, Dust by Dust —
    They balanced Film with Film,
    Then handed me my Being’s worth —
    A single Dram of Heaven! (Emily Dickiinson)

  17. “MERCHANDISE! Merchandise! Tortoiseshell, spices,
    Carpets and Indigo sent o’er the highseas;
    Mothero’Pearl from the Solomon Isles
    Brought by a brigantine ten thousand miles.
    Rubber from Zanzibar, tea from NangPo,
    Copra from Haiti, and wine from Bordeaux;
    Ships, with topgallants and royals unfurled,
    Are bringing in freights from the ends of the world … ” (J Milton Hayes)
