		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been meaning to post this for a while. (Since October!) Somehow this bookmark was pushed aside, and I forgot about it. The Pilsner Urquell International Photography Awards are an annual event. Both professional photographers and non-professionals are highlighted each year. There are many categories covered by the professional and non-professionals. Of course, my two favorite categories are bridges and architecture.
Here&#8217;s a sample of the 2007 winners. There were some amazing photos offered this last October.
Professional Photographer of the Year: Architecture - David Bowman

Frank Relle &#8211; 3rd place &#8211; Buildings: New Orleans Nightscapes

Timothy Griffith &#8211; 2nd place &#8211; Interiors: ULUWATU

		<description><![CDATA[Here are some ideas about how to make your home more offbeat color worthy than with a simple bucket o&#8217; white paint. Or at least how to shock your neighborhood association.
Granted, this below was an advertising campaign. Still, it does sort of make you shudder. It&#8217;s not boring though. 

Here&#8217;s a second &#8220;Orange House&#8221; and although it&#8217;s full of colors that you&#8217;d think would be terrible together I&#8217;m strangely drawn to it. Maybe it&#8217;s how it was shot. I really like the photo composition.

<p>Purple anyone? This is a 19th century home in New Orleans but it actually reminds me of some of the homes you see in Humboldt &#8212; the Eureka area. So I like it.</p>
<p><a href="http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Marigny12June06PurpleHouse1.jpg"><img src="http://www.blisstree.com/files/69/2007/11/purplehouse1-500x375.jpg" alt="purplehouse1-500×375.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>Can&#8217;t decide which color is best &#8212; polka dots are always a safe bet. Hey! That was so Dr. Seuss. Good for me. Anyhow, this is a pretty cool half and half home. I wonder what the &#8216;normal&#8217; side thinks. On another note, the blog / website this came from has some of the most charming <a href="http://www.allthingsjacq.com/photography_essay_20051002.html">Bishop&#8217;s Castle photography</a> &#8212; it&#8217;s well worth a good long look. Some of the shots of the countryside are beautiful.</p>

<p>Now, no more white paint. Got it.</p>
