Today is the day we in America honor all the moms in our life: our wives, daughters with children, and our own mommies. So to all the mothers/mums/moms of photographyvoice.com, old and young, we thank you for doing one of the most important jobs a person can do! May your day today be a blessed one, full of love and joy.

And to my own lovely wife, Cristi. Thank you for our two children and the love you have given them (and me) all these years! You've done a wonderful job! [MORE]

We recently had a great photo win POTD that was captured with the Apple iPhone's built-in camera. As expected that led to a few entries from people using their mobile phone's photo capabilities. While these devices are getting more and more sophisticated in their ability to capture images, they still are not truly digital cameras for the purposes of most photographers.

Because the image is the main thing, we will accept submissions from these devices. However, the core problem of phone cameras is that there are so many different models and varieties that it would bog down the site in terms of categorization. Motorola or Nokia may release the exact same phone with different model numbers based on service provider or even retail outlet. As you can imagine, keeping up with this would be a nightmare.

So in order to solve this all such submissions will all be lumped together under the camera category "Misc. Non-Camera". Be sure to select this when submitting. In the details section, feel free to identify which particular model you used if you like.

This same policy applies to any other device (video camera, etc.) that can be used to capture still images.

One of the more popular monthly POTD categories once again comes up to the plate ready to hit a home run, score a goal, or make a free throw. Sports is the category for June. Take a photo of something sports related -- either action shots, landscapes of playing fields or courts, or even studio shots of athletic equipment.

If its sports related, we want to see it!

Category is open now for submissions.
