Here's a project for the photography nerds in the house: D.C. Public Libraries Then & Now contest. First, you need to browse through the DCPL Flickr Commons photostream and look for old pictures of buildings in the area that still exist today -- an interesting way to spend a few minutes for history buffs as well. Then break out the camera and go on a field trip to find it. Use your creative talents to shoot the building in an interesting way and add it to their Flickr contest pool. It's free to enter, with the best photos winning some neat prizes. There are only a few entries so far, and the contest ends June 9 July 3, so you have a pretty good chance at taking that Flip MinoHD Camcorder or Holga starter set home. more ›
