Popular Photography announces their travel and adventure photo contest. So what is a travelographer?
Travelographers make their travel plans with a purpose. They’re an active group that prefers to visit places that are off the beaten path and don’t mind paying extra to do so. They travel for adventure, photography and to broaden themselves culturally. Does that sound like you or someone you know? Enter your most outstanding travel photographs, sponsored by Popular Photography and American Photo. Winners will be selected by a panel of distinguished judges and will be published in upcoming issues of Popular Photography and American Photo.
Enter online May 1 – August 30, 2010. There is a ten dollar ($10) fee to submit one (1) photograph into the contest, and a fifteen dollar ($15) fee to submit two (2) to five (5) photographs to enter the contest.

Last week in New York City, a fan of trains was arrested for photographing a train. It might be funny if it didn’t keep happening.
Robert S. Taylor of Brooklyn was taking photos for fun last Thursday in a subway station. Police saw him and cited him for unauthorized photography, disorderly conduct/unreasonable voice and impeding traffic.
The charge of unauthorized photography – a crime that doesn’t exist – has already been dropped, Taylor says.
“It’s almost embarrassing,” Taylor says. “It was a waste of everybody’s time.” [via PDN]

“The 50 States Project has brought together 50 photographers from across the USA. Each photographer lives in one of the 50 States and during the year long project each photographer will represent the State where they live. Every two months each photographer will be sent an assignment by e-mail, they then have two months to produce one image in response. The images must represent both their style and the State in which they live.” [via Conscientious]
