Ready to be the next Shulman? Take pictures of your favorite parts of Los Angeles and share them with the world on our new online photo album, organized by the Getty Research Institute and Kids Off the Couch, a free, weekly e-mail that provides families with fresh ideas for getting off the couch and into the city.

Here's how to participate:

  1. Create a digital photograph of any place in Los Angeles.
    Send us images of any kind that have a personal meaning to you. (Please do not send photographs taken by a professional photographer.)

    Your digital images should be JPEGs or TIFFs and the file size can be up to 20 megabytes (MBs). (Need help? Read about How to Make a Digital Image)

  2. Compose a commentary.
    ALL snapshots must be accompanied by a short 1- or 2-sentence commentary. Tell us what's in the picture, why you took the picture, and what the place in the picture means to you.
