Participate in a National Photo Show from Duluth

The site A Million Little Pictures is hosting a national disposable camera exhibition. Here's how they describe it:
"We want to come to your city.
But you have to prove yourself first. We're sending out disposable cameras across the United States. People take pictures based on the theme of "adventures" and send them back to us. If your city (or the closest major city) gets the most participants, were throwing the show there!"

Try it! If all of you do it, we can get them to come to Duluth!

Frida was a powerful Mexican artist working around the '30s of the 20th century. Her work is dreamlike, personal, strange, smart and intense.
