As Labor Day weekend kicks off, which for me officially means the sorrowful end of lazy, golden summer days, we celebrate the last shreds of vacations spent with a wonderful offering of SIX pages of your photographs. Thank you as always for sharing your work and for reading Lenscratch.

We have some fun and thoughtful new calls for entry coming up, the next being Signs of Life. Send us your ONE best image of signs that tell us what to do, where to go, who to vote for, bumper stickers, or building identifiers…and please send intentional images. We are not interested in snapshots.
