I've gotten several emails from people asking me if I'll be doing a Weather Calendar for 2011. Unfortunately the economy of printed calendars has become untenable as a charitable fund-raiser, so sadly the answer is no Northwest Weather Calendar. But happily, I'm now involved in a photography project that will be even more fun, raise more money to support education locally and be more inclusive. Because YOU get to throw your pictures into the mix. It's called the Photo Of The Year Contest.
Like photography? Want to put your pics up against other amateur shooters? Submit your pictures online at Photo Of The Year and get a shot at the $500 grand prize. But best of all, proceeds benefit the Multnomah Education Service District's Outdoor School.
Go to http://www.photooftheyear.net to submit your pictures and for all contest details. And guess what? There's a Weather category for anyone going through Northwest Weather Calendar withdrawals. Like me.
Happy Picture Making,
Matt Zaffino
