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!
What’s going on at the corner of West 43rd St. and Ella in Oak Forest? A team of Swamplot photographers went to find out.
This is their report. It’s also known as Swamplot’s 3rd group photo feature. How’s it looking?
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!

Here it is: Swamplot’s first-ever group photo feature, created by our readers! This feature was pieced together from reader pix taken in and around the intersection of West Alabama and Kirby Dr.
How does it look?
We already have some great reader pix on tap for Swamplot’s first-ever group photo feature, which premieres tomorrow! And if you’d like to participate, there’s still time: The deadline to get your photos of the area in and around the intersection of Kirby and West Alabama is midnight tonight. You can find more details about the project here.
What comes next? The Swamplot group photo feature for the following Friday, October 30th. Same idea, just a different location. We’ll try a one-week deadline for this one: Get your photos in by next Thursday at midnight.
So what’s that new location?
Interested in taking photos for Swamplot’s new group photo feature? Great! Here’s our streetcorner-photographing FAQ:
Okay, I’m at the corner of Kirby and West Alabama. What am I supposed to be snapping pictures of?
Whatever you want. Really. Anything that’s within 500 ft. of that intersection.
Swamplot is a real-estate site. That means you want photos of buildings, right?
Well, sure. But . . . really, it’ll be a little sad if that’s all we get. What else do you see going on near that corner?
I can already see everything I want in that area from my computer, using Google Street View. What’s the point of having us take more photos?
Try taking pictures of things you can’t see from Google Maps. Then we’ll see!
I’m not a particularly good photographer, but I can snap photos with my cameraphone. Do you want those?
Photos from any kind of camera and any kind of photographer are welcome. We all love to see spectacular images, but that’s not necessarily the point of this feature. We’re just trying to get a sense of a place. And sometimes quick-and-dirty snaps can do that better than polished portraits.
