I’ve seen so many fantastic photos on the blogosphere over the last year and have been impressed with the photography skills of so many bloggers.  In my opinion, photos really enhance a blog and creates a greater reading experience.  For me, a great photo makes emotions come alive…. so I salute all you “Fantastic Photo” takers!  In particular, I want to point out 2 blogs that always go the extra mile with their photography.

• One is my good friend Maryann at Finding La Dolce Vita because of her creativity… she’s a poet in word and photo. See for yourself.
• The other is the dynamic duo (Amy &Johnny) at We Are Never Full… warning: don’t visit if your hungry.  I am convinced that their photos are one step from scratch and sniff (I’ve been tempted to lick the screen on several occasions.)

With that being said, I’m going to start posting a “Fantastic Photo” once a month on Italyville (more often depending on the response.)  At the end of the year I will select the top 3 photos of the year.  The photos must be Italian themed (places, things, food, people, etc.) … any photo that screams Italian or Italy.  If you would like to submit a photo for consideration, here’s what you need to do:

Zia Natalina

• Submit an Italian themed photo by emailing me “joe” at “italyville” dot “com” with photo attached and “Fantastic Photo” in the subject title.
• In the email, I will need your name, name of your blog and a title for your “Fantastic Photo”
• The photos have to be your own and “PG” in rating
• I reserve the right to post or not post any/all photos.

I will also be on the look-out for “Fantastic Photos” so keep up the great work!
