Airfarewatchdog: Photo contest: could be fun

[RKDauph]

Just got this email asking for travel photos, with a twist..

Hi Ray,

Taking that summer vacation soon? Well don't think you're off the hook so easy. We're giving you a little homework assignment. No, no, we're not going to make you read the complete works (or even a third of the works) of John Steinbeck or anything. Relax. It's easy. We just want photos of your summer travels, that's all. Not so much photos of you and your Uncle Al cheers-ing mai tais under a palm tree, although that does sound like a real stunner. We were thinking more along the lines of taking all your travel gripes from last week and documenting them for all to see. You snap the pics, send 'em in, and we'll post the best entries. Categories so far include: Most ravaged luggage, dirtiest seat-back pocket, most creative use of duct tape by an airline (hey, it happens!), craziest canceled-flight mob scene, longest TSA line, most soul-crushing smokers lounge, and, well, any scene of whatever horrors you may encounter during the course of your summer travels. Just don't go snapping away in the face of any TSA employees (or for that matter, anyone else) because, well, obviously, that would so not go over well. Send your photo submissions (or depictions in macaroni, if that is your preferred medium) and category suggestions to us here, and, if we post your photo, we'll send you a gorgeous Airfarewatchdog t-shirt of your very own.

And how do they expect you to get all these photos of the "craziest canceled-flight mob scene, longest TSA line, most soul-crushing smokers lounge" if you can't point your camera at "anyone"?
