Some Inspiration: Finalists of the Second Annual Whalebone Photo Contest

Whalebone Magazine (the self-proclaimed ninth-best magazine in the world) just wrapped up their Second Annual Whalebone Photo Contest, leading up to the release of their aptly named Photo Issue. Categories included Water, Adventure, Human, Motion, Joy, and Weather — whatever those things mean to you. All of the categories were very intentionally up for interpretation, which resulted in an incredible range of creative submissions. It could just be me, but I feel like many contests these days have certain expectations and a certain type of photo that has a chance at becoming a finalist.
