The Rules

 The theme for this photo contest is Less is More. Simplicity and minimalism in photography is what I am looking for. It sounds easy but is quite hard to accomplish. I'm eager to see, how you tackle the strife for simplicity. Unlike my previous contests I'll accept only new photos, submitted on or after May 1^st 2009.

 To enter the contest, just send me a note with a thumb or link to your photo. Only one photo per account please.

 I will only accept photographs taken with a film or a digital camera. Photomanipulations, which are images that have been composed of two or more photographic elements to create something new, won't qualify.

 All contest entries are displayed in the contest journal, and in the contest collection.

 Voting begins June, 24^th and ends June 29^th, 24:00h WST. What time is that for you? (Ordered by city name) You either send me a note or answer to my reminder-note. This is how it works:
