Smithsonian Photography Contest

Smithsonian Magazine, much like National Geographic, is one of those print publications that pay as much attention to the photography as they do the written word. So, when Smithsonian decides to have a photography contest, you can bet I’m going to be there checking it out.

The magazine has just released the ten finalists in five separate categories: Americana, The Natural World, People, Altered Images, and Travel. Naturally, we here at Gadling are most interested in the travel category, but I recommend you visit all five if you have the time. My favorite? Walking the line in Death Valley, by Diana Lemieux. Very cool.

Hey Diane, how about uploading a few gems to our Gadling Flickr Pool for Photo of the Day consideration?
