Challenge #12
Make the story behind a photograph as important as the image itself.
– Jon Tonks
Jon adds…
Submit a photograph along with a caption, quote or information that will entertain, amuse or enlighten the viewer to something new. It sounds simple, but working as a documentary photographer I always want to have meaning or a story behind my pictures - it opens discussion, and adds a layer beyond the aesthetic. I have always felt this is an important tool when working within such a subjective industry.

How it works
Take photos that interpret the challenge and upload them to Flickr or Instagram. Then add them to the Challenge #12 Flickr group or use the #12by12challenge12 hashtag on Instagram. It’s possible to add up to five images per challenge to the Flickr group.
Once you're underway if you'd like some feedback on your work in progress images before you submit them you can add them to the WIP Album post. Once you've submitted your image(s) you can add them to the Final Albums post to make your images easier to browse for members and challenge setters alike.
Each challenge has its own group on Flickr, if you like to take part be sure to join the Challenge #12 group. www.flickr.com/groups/12by12challenge12/
Community
Each challenge has its own thread, inviting first reactions, thoughts, ongoing progress and old photos. Why not join the discussion.
The Challenge #11 Flickr group is now closed to submissions but you can continue respond to the instruction on Instagram.
Consider putting a tip in the 12 by 12 jar
We are a non-profit organisation but it does take many hundreds of hours a year to run 12 by 12 and we'd love to become an on-going project beyond the end of this year's challenges – you can help us do that. Thanks so much.
Good luck to everyone taking part!
