Photo a Day: No Makeup

Each day of the month we’re bringing you our submission of a themed Photo a Day challenge. Today, Oct. 6, the theme is No Makeup. The picture above is of a cat. Perhaps the feline could use a bit of makeup to make it look less severe, or perhaps it's reacting to someone who would be better served with a bit of makeup. Who knows?

Yesterday's theme was Eye, for which we got a ton of great submissions. Tomorrow’s theme is In My Cup. Check back in each day for our Photo of the Day and submit your own. Check out below for a description of the Photo a Day challenge and a list of October themes. 

And thanks to sevral users for uploading photos for yesterday's challenge, including Grave Lavigne, who sent us a pic via Twitter. To their her submissions, click here. 

With the advent of media sharing applications like Instagram and the rapid rise in photo sharing across the internet through forums like Facebook, Reddit and even Patch, there have been movements to engender creativity in the digital photography community.

One such movement that has become popular is the now-ubiquitous Photo A Day challenge. While many sites across the internet offer their own interpretations and challenge lists, the goal is always the same, to capture a digital image each day that represents that day’s specific theme.

To participate, upload your photos directly to Red Bank-Shrewsbury Patch by clicking the "Upload Photos and Videos" button directly under the above picture, email us at edward.vanembden@patch.com, or Tweet us your pic at @redbankpatch. Though we plan on keeping to the schedule, feel free to upload your themed pics at your leisure.
