A new week and a new theme! Every other week we at LUCEO post iPhone and archive photos as part of a challenge that involves you, dear photography lover. We post photos Monday through Thursday based on a secret theme provided by a photographer or blogger or anyone in the photo industry, then we wait for you to guess the theme and write it in the comments by Thursday. Every other Friday, we will announce who guessed right first. If you play your cards right, there might just be a prize involved. (Keep in mind, not every photo has to blatantly follow that theme, but all the photo clues together will spell it out.)
This week’s theme picker is esteemed photo editor Mike Davis. We are proud to announce Mike as one of LUCEO’s partners. He helps photographers tell compelling stories and now has teamed up with us to help shape certain projects. During more than 20 years of experience at National Geographic Magazine, The White House and some of the country’s leading newspapers Mike has worked on scores of projects that required months of considered thought and thousands of images to produce and edit into books, web sites, publications and more. He has been twice named Newspaper Picture Editor of the Year, judged many of the world’s leading photojournalism competitions and lectured at Universities across America.
Head over to Mike’s blog and bookmark it. (Especially pay attention to the incredible Two Pictures feature where he helps photographers choose between two photos and explains his thought process on why.)
UPDATE: WINNER!!! Tim LaMorte freakishly guesssed Mike’s theme of “Smokin’”. We thought for sure we’d have to throw in a photo of Jim Carrey in The Mask to really get you guessers to drop off the ‘g’ but Tim is a savante, we suppose, and he didn’t need any blatant clues to get into Mike’s mind. (Tim, drop Kendrick an email to get a prize! KendrickBrinsonATluceoimages.com)
