National Geographic Traveler Wants Our Flickr Pool
Attention photographers: the National Geographic Traveler is putting together a "user-generated photography gallery" of images from around Washington, D.C. They'll choose the best of those submitted and post them on their web site in a couple of weeks. Just submit your photos (as many as you want), with a description, to their Flickr pool, but tag your favorite five with "NGTDC."
If you're not sure what to submit, it sounds to us like they want what our DCist contributors do best: capture D.C. in that unique way that can only be done by people intimately familiar with it. We suggest taking the images you plan to submit to DCist Exposed (coming very soon!) and plunking those in their pool. The prize is only getting your image in their online gallery, but hey, it is National Geographic, so that's some pretty nice cachet. Get your photos in by December 15.

Does it matter when the photos were taken? I have a bunch that I've taken that are really old.

i'd say this looks decent . . . there's no mention of specific copyright/usage information though. anyone have any insider info on it? being included in their web gallery (with full credit, i assume) and getting a year subscription seems like pretty good compensation, but watch out for any other uses not stated.

I hereby nominate dcist's immortal public-diaper-sex-for-crack photos. Pretty much crystalizes what life in DC is all about.
Get it? Crack? Crystalize? That's a joke, son. Don't you get it? I keep pitchin 'em and you keep missen 'em.
Nice boy, but he's about as sharp as a sack of wet mice.

i sure as hell hope this doesn't end up being a venue for photos of the mall, monuments, etc. can we have some DC-centricity, please?

@monkeyrotic- that joke was about as subtle as a hand grenade in a barrel of oatmeal.
