Help Me Decide!
Aaron Brothers is having a contest and asking artists to submit their images that best depict the American Spirit.
Help. Me. Decide. Please!
All I can think is to have you look through my archives and then leave a comment about what screams AMERICA most to you. You’ll do that, won’t you? Please? And you’ll ask your friends to help me pick something, too. Right? Seriously, when you find the image you like, plop the post link in the comments here and then I’ll start sorting and compiling votes. There are also photos over in my Flickr account that might work, especially this set.
I know, I ask so much from my friends. But this could be kind of cool to enter and “place”, you know? I don’t expect to win, but I think I could at least get an honorable mention or third or something.
Try Image 0196a in your Flickr set. The boys in it made me think immediately of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer. MG0232a “Ennui” could be relabelled “Young America”, MG 0059a could be labelled “Past lives” or for a really atmospheric scenic shot MG0090 or MG0055a (Death Valley ahead.) Good luck!

you’re gonna have to link directly to the image because I have a LOT of images that are numbered 0196a.
Seriously, go ahead and pop a link in the comments. It’ll work. I promise.

Love the one with the Navy Chief hugging his daughter.
But I might be a little prejudiced

OK Joanie, try this http://www.flickr.com/photos/laughingrhino/2927471595/in/set-72157607896646091/ – looking again I think a boy and a girl, but still Tom and Huck as I imagined them.

Now that’s one I hadn’t considered! Interesting choice. And they can pass for boys (they’re twin girls)…
