Calling All Amateur Photographers — Share Your Concord Pics

If a picture says a thousand words, then Concord Patch wants to write a novel.

We're looking for pictures of Concord and Clayton that capture the culture of a community, share a beautiful scene, or tell a story.

Get snapping and then upload your photos to the Concord Patch Neighborhood Gallery.

The best photos will be used for features like "Photo of the Day," "Where in Concord?" and "Delicious Mystery."

Here are the kind of pictures we're hoping for from Concord photographers, whether you're using a smartphone or a professional camera:

• Food photos from local restaurants
• Landscapes, such as sunsets and views of Mount Diablo
• Pictures of local nature, including flowers and trees
• Concord event photos
• Pictures that capture life in Concord

Please include a caption with your photo describing where it was taken and any relevant context. All photos will be attributed to the photographer and may be used in future Patch articles.

How would you describe Concord in a single photo, or a dozen? Share your pictures here.
