Here at the Photoletariat, we’re looking to support and showcase photos shot by hobbyists and amateurs alike. In the next few weeks we’d love for you to send us your photos for a gallery of reader submitted photos to be published on this site. We’ll have a gallery and uploader set up in the future, but for now send them directly to me at jsimon@magnetmediafilms.com. They needn’t be big, no larger than 700 pixels please.
To help you all out, we’ll offer you a theme to get you started. For our first photo challenge we’re giving you the theme “The Dog Days of Summer”
Interpret that any way you want. Feel free to send any pictures you’ve already taken as well.
Happy shooting!

Much is being made of the Economists’s most recent cover, featuring President Barack Obama alone in front of a oil well in the Gulf of Mexico. A picture depicting a solitary leader up against enormous pressure and consequences. However, the original photo taken by a Reuters photographer shows him anything but alone. In fact, he is with with the Coast Guard’s Adm. Thad W. Allen, Obama’s point-man in the Gulf and Lafourche Parish President Charlottle Randolph. The image used for the cover was heavily cropped and both people were cloned out, possibly through using
Photoshop’s new “content aware” setting.
Is this wrong? Possibly.
