Photo Challenge #6: Near | Far — Photo Diptych
Ends: Wednesday, October 15th, 2008
Brief: Create a pairing of two images. The images together should suggest the theme of "Near | Far".

From time to time, we’ll be posting some sneak-peaks into some of the things we’re working on in the TechLab, both here and in our Flickr Pool .
