ZoneZero Call for Images
http://zonezero.com
________________________________________________________________________________________
I am well aware that not all cultures enjoy the same special days for celebrating an event nor do so on the same day, in this case most of the western cultures celebrate Valentine's Day with variations. On the other hand, in the Chinese culture, for instance it's "The Night of the Sevens", In Japan and Korea it is called "White Day" which is of more recent origin and associated with marketing efforts by candy makers.
Valentine's Day is however a celebration which dates back to Chaucer in the year 1382, today it is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes. So we thought it would be in keeping that in ZoneZero a site dedicated to photography, we would ask all of our readers, to send us your images interpreting your way of understanding the spirit of Valentine's Day and love.
With the advent of digital photography and the internet, we know it is now so much easier to do so in a very practical way and to have the world admire your images.
One of our previous experiences with invitations such as this one, was with the request we sent out asking for images where the image of CHE would be represented. Those images contributed largely to what later became an international exhibition presented in major Museums around the world. Of course for such things to happen, we have to get very interesting images in the first place.
We look forward to publishing all your wonderful photographs. You can send us up to seven of your best pictures, so please start sending them as soon as you possibly can. Log in often to the following address to check if your pictures have already been published:

The entire staff of ZoneZero joins me in sending you our most caring thoughts on this occasion.
