Oh My News calls out to shutterbugs

The editors of OhMyNews, the "citizen journalism" Web site, are asking readers for newsworthy photographs of their neighborhood with a 50 word caption (or less). OhMyNews will select and post the best of the pics on a weekly basis.

There will be space for visitors' comments at the bottom of each posted piece, allowing for instant feedback on the contributors' work. (Thanks Julián Gallo for forwarding this!)
