One of the fixes for the site is the ability to regulate comments more effectively. Unfortunately, from time to time we get hackers who like to share their nuggets of stupidity on our photos. Each measure we put in place they circumvent. So while the site is in hiatus, I've shut down commenting for the site in general.

Thanks for your patience!

Hope everyone is enjoying the start to 2012 and it's a wonderful year for everyone. Still working on the site and it will be back. Just keep checking and I apologize for the extended down time.

Look for some new reviews in the very near term as well.

Thanks for your patience!

Sorry for the late notice... the category has been open for a few hours, but I forgot to post to the news feed.

This month (It's October already!!!) is Apples OR Oranges. One or the other... Or both if you prefer.

Not PINE-Apples.
Not Orange colored things...

Real Fruits... Apples. Oranges. They don't have to be the main attraction, they can be included in your shot in an interesting way.

Category is open now (still), so get cranking!

Today marks the fifth birthday or anniversary of photographyvoice.com and I want to thank everyone who has been a part of this site during that period.

Our first POTD Selections came on September 25, 2006 (View them here) and the excellent photos have been coming ever since.

We've had:

• 16,684 photos selected as POTD in those five years.
  
• 1,087 different photographers win a POTD.
  
• 300 different cameras produce a POTD.
  
• 113 countries represented in the photos.
  
• 300+ members on our Facebook Page

This does not include all the many, many, many thousands of entries as well as World in Pictures Day participations.

Thank you so much for making this site what it is. I hope we can provide more and better features in the very near future.

The gallery of photos from this weekend's World in Pictures Day event marking the 10th anniversary of the 09/11 attacks is now online.

View the 45 entries HERE.

Thanks to everyone who took part!

While September 11, 2001 was a terrible day in American history, the horror of it was shared by the world as a whole.

As this year marks the 10th anniversary of that senseless attack, I felt it would be only fitting to show the world as it is a decade later. Therefore our next World in Pictures Day edition (the 18th) will be 9/11/2011.

As usual, take a photo of your part of the world showing life as it happens. Your photo MUST be taken when it is September 11 where you are. Nothing from the tenth or the twelfth.

Your entry does not have to cover memorials or observances. Simply showing that life indeed goes on if fitting enough tribute.

Full details can be found at http://photographyvoice.com/world-in-pictures-day

As always we all look forward to seeing your world.

Good things come in fives and September's POTD category is no different. The number 5 is the theme and we're looking for either the number 5 (not the word) OR five of your subject (not four or six or 300). Find a way to photograph the number or the amount in an interesting way.

Category is open now for submissions. Looking forward to your entries!

Oh yeah. photographyvoice.com will turn five years old in September as well, so that sorta makes the theme relevant. :)

Time to belly up to your subjects for August's POTD category. Or more appropriately, get down on your belly to take their photo. The theme category for the month is for shots taken FROM the ground level. So get down, get dirty, and get an interesting angle.

Category is open now for submissions.
