WHERE WE’RE HEADED FOR NEXT WEEK’S GROUP PHOTO FEATURE Got plans with your camera or cameraphone for the weekend? How about taking it out to the corner of Bellaire Blvd. and Bissonnet St. and using it to take some pix for next week’s group photo feature? That little corner of Bellaire is our next assignment. (The deadline for the current assignment is midnight tonight!) We’ll have a map of the area for you to look at and more details tomorrow, after this week’s photo feature runs.

Hey, all you East Enders: What kind of photos would you like to see in this Friday’s upcoming group feature? Our location this week is the intersection of Harrisburg Blvd. and Wayside Dr. And there’s still plenty of room for your contributions.
Even if you’re not from that part of town, it’s easy to participate: Just snap some pix of anything within 500 ft. of that intersection — with your cameraphone, even — and upload them to the Swamplot Flickr pool. (You can use the map above as a guide.) Tag your photos with “Harrisburg & Wayside,” and make sure your account doesn’t block other users from creating galleries. What you see is what we’ll get!
The deadline is Thursday at midnight. We’ll run with what’s come in on Friday.
Ready for a little east-side action? Find your way to the intersection of Harrisburg Blvd. and Wayside Dr. with a camera (or just a cameraphone!) and you can be a part of Swamplot’s next group photo feature! All you need to do is snap pix — of anything you want — within 500 ft. of that corner.
Upload your photos to the Swamplot Flickr pool, tag them with the magic phrase “Harrisburg & Wayside” (you’ll need to use those quotation marks to keep the tag in one piece), and make sure you haven’t disabled the galleries feature on your Flickr account. We’ll feature the group of photos that we figure best represents that little corner of Houston (and include a slide show of all the submitted pix) in a post next Friday — which means you have until next Thursday at midnight to get your photos in.
NEXT WEEK’S GROUP PHOTO FEATURE, BY SPECIAL REQUEST While some of you are still out at the corner of Hillcroft and Harwin, snapping a few last-minute pix for this week’s group photo feature (you’ll see those photos Friday), we’ll go ahead and announce the location for next week. A reader wrote in to request we send y’all to the intersection of Harrisburg and Wayside. So . . . Harrisburg and Wayside it is! We’ll have a few more details and a map to show you tomorrow, after this week’s feature runs.
How is Swamplot’s new group photo feature working out for you? We’ve had 3 of them to look at so far. Send a bunch of Swamplot readers to take any photos they want within 500 ft. of a Houston intersection and see what they come back with: Are the results what you expected?
We’ve already got a bunch of great images in for this week’s assignment — but there’s room for many more! How’s the corner of Hillcroft and Harwin looking? If it’s not shaping up the way you envisioned, you’ve still got time to add your pix to the mix! Or if you like some of what you see and that inspires you to push the project further in a similar direction, you can do it — by adding your own shots.
Just send your images to the Swamplot Flickr pool, and tag them with the phrase “Hillcroft & Harwin” (yes, you’ll need to include the quotation marks). Make sure you haven’t disabled Flickr’s gallery feature. Add descriptions if you like. The deadline is midnight this Thursday.
Swamplot’s next group photo feature should be a lot of fun! We’re headed to the intersection of Hillcroft Ave. and Harwin Dr., in Sharpstown. Your assignment: Take pictures of anything you like that’s within 500 ft. of that intersection. Are you up for it?
Be sure to tag your photos “Hillcroft & Harwin” (and include the quotation marks). Then submit them to the Swamplot Flickr photo pool. Make sure they’re in by midnight next Thursday, November 12th. And please enable adding to a Gallery on your Flickr account. We’ll see the results of your explorations in our photo feature next Friday!
WHERE ALL THE SWAMPLOT PHOTOGRAPHERS ARE HEADED NEXT What corner of the city should we document next week — for Swamplot’s new group photo feature? How about the intersection of Hillcroft and Harwin? Take pix of anything you find within 500 ft. of that corner, and send them in! We’ll have a few more details — plus photos from the past week’s project — on Friday.
Swamplot’s group photo assignment this week is covering the corner of West 43rd St. and Ella, in Garden Oaks. (Or is that Oak Forest? Shepherd Park Plaza?) Anyway, we want your photos — of anything you choose, as long as it’s within 500 ft. of that intersection.
If you haven’t participated in one of these assignments yet, it’s easy: Just add your photos to the Swamplot Flickr pool, and put “West 43rd & Ella” in the tag field (be sure to include the quotation marks!). The deadline for this round is midnight tomorrow night — still enough time to get your snaps in!
One more request: We’d like to try using Flickr’s gallery feature to organize the selected photos. If you’re submitting photos, could you make sure you don’t have that feature blocked? Otherwise, we won’t be able to include your pix. Thanks!
