Now that PAC is running a weekly theme in the Google+ PAC Community, as well as in the Facebook PAC group, we’ve decided to highlight THREE Weekly Theme Recognition photos:

• one from the weekly Google+ theme submissions
• one from the Facebook “Creative” theme submissions
• one from the Facebook “Technical” theme submissions

The three chosen photos will be posted right here on the blog every Monday morning.  So … remember to check out the blog on Mondays to see if your image was chosen!

And now, without further ado, here are the three images the judges have chosen to recognize from last week’s PAC themes!

:: Google+ PAC Community Weekly Theme, “Color in Motion” Recognition ::

From last week’s Google+ PAC Community weekly “Color in Motion” theme challenge, the judges have chosen to highlight Larry Pollock’s image!

Congratulations, Larry, on your PAC Community Recognition!

Larry took this beautiful “Color in Motion” photo of the inside of a kaleidoscope with his iPhone.  SO creative (the judges agree that they wish they would have thought of that!).

Larry is one of our local Arizona photographers.  He hails from one of the most-picturesque cities in the state:  Sedona.  Larry is a very active poster in both our Google+ Community and in our Facebook Group.  He frequently wows us with his images of those beautiful, mystical red rocks.

Congratulations, Larry Pollock, on your PAC Community Recognition!  We always love your work and look forward to more!

:: Facebook PAC Group  – Creative Theme “What’s in YOUR Camera Bag” Recognition ::

Our judges selected Jesse Castellano’s submission, “What’s in my (other) bag” for last week’s Creative Theme Recognition.

Congratulations, Jesse, on your PAC Community Recognition! 

Jesse’s image of what’s in his “other” camera bag was very eye-catching (and made many of us a little envious).     He reports that he used his Olympus Pen E-PL1 digital camera to make this photo of his beautiful, black walnut, Shen Hao large-format field camera.

Jesse is another of our local Arizona photographers.  He’s retiring from teaching high school photography (film!) in a few months and is looking forward to spending some quality time with his Shen Hao. 🙂

Congrats again, Jesse Castellano, on your PAC Community Recognition!  We sure appreciate your participation in PAC, and we’ll be looking forward to seeing images you make with your Shen Hao this summer!

:: Facebook PAC Group  – Technical Theme “Converging Lines” Recognition ::

Our highlighted photo for last week’s Facebook Group Technical Theme comes from Emily Bristor.

Congratulations, Emily, on your PAC Community Recognition!

Emily used her Canon Powershot G10 “pro-sumer” point-and-shoot camera to take this mesmerizing photo of the converging lines inside of a rocket engine!  She reports that she took the image a couple of years ago, while visiting the Titan Missile Museum, which is near Tucson.  The engine was located outside in bright sunlight, but shooting directly inside the engine made for a fascinating image!

Emily is also a local Arizona photographer.  She regularly posts in our Facebook PAC Group and actively participates in our theme challenges.

Congratulations, Emily Bristor, on your PAC Community Recognition!  Thank you for your active participation in PAC … we look forward to seeing more of your posts!
