It's our new contest! At first glance these photos won’t seem like they have much to do with one another. Its your job in 350 words or less, to tell us a story of how these photos are connected. Send us your story by Sept 8th to cfrubooks@gmail.com with "Contest" in the subject line. We’ll judge them & pick a winner. Prizes you may ask? Books & notoriety, of course!
