Aaron vs Lan Photography Contest 1868
photo contest rules
Image by Lan Bui
Aaron and I had an impromptu photography contest yesterday.

The rules were that from the car to my house (about a block) we had to take the best photograph we could without going backwards on the street. Basically, if you past something you could not go back. That was it, we did it and here are the results.

Please judge based on anything, place a comment VOTE on which one you vote for (other comments are also welcome).

See Aarons here
