THE MARCH PHOTO CHALLENGE THEME: COMMUNICATION
By Shelly Perry, in Portland, OR
Keep in mind that though Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, that is but one tool we have for communicating in our modern world.
The term "communication" can refer to a wide variety of verbal, visual, and written connectedness.
Equipment like the telephone itself can illustrate communication. Your photo could include telephones, alarms, computers, cell phones, BlackBerries -- you name it.
Broaden the interpretation, and communication can include dancing, singing, books, friends in conversation, and so on,
Remember to write an informative and convincing description to include with your photo. I've noticed in our previous photo challenges that the descriptions really do help "make" certain photographs.
Submissions for this month's challenge are due by 8:00 a.m. EST on Monday, March 26, 2007. You can submit your photos by clicking on the "Enter to Win" tab on our website: www.thephotographerslife.com.

What if I said you could legally write off your vacations?
That's right. I mean, you might be able to deduct every beach excursion... every Paris jaunt... every Colorado ski vacation. Put them right on your tax return as expenses... and the IRS wouldn't look twice.
It's entirely possible when you use the strategies we'll share with you here...
