Labor Day has always been a bittersweet holiday for me; a day off is always welcome although I'm sad to see summer come to an end. The long weekend usually consists of backyard BBQs, sweet tea and a trip to the pool before it closes for the season. Labor Day also makes for a perfect day to break out your camera and photograph how you celebrate the holiday. Thus, I propose the "Labor Day 24 Hour Photo Challenge" for both students and faculty:

Follow these steps listed to enter one top image in the "Labor Day 24 Hour Photo Challenge":
- Take a bunch of photos from your Labor Day celebration; photos must be taken between 12:01am and 12:59pm GMT on September 5, 2016.
- When taking your photos, consider the basics: Lighting, Composition, Content, and Focus.
- Choose one top photograph and edit your photo using Adobe Lightroom and/or Adobe Photoshop.
- Adjust image size to 10" at the largest dimensions at 72ppi.
- Save file as a .jpeg and label it as "Last Name_First Name_LaborDay24Hour".
- Upload your photo to Flicker, PhotoBucket or similar hosting website.

I'll be reviewing the submissions for the photo challenge and will choose the strongest photo as the winner. The top photo of the challenge will be published in a "Pho·Tog Friday" post; a great addition to your resume!
