In this post are some of my favorites that were uploaded from the Facebook community.<\/p>\n<p>Next week&#8217;s theme is going to be: &#8220;<strong>Food<\/strong>&#8221; &#8211; inspired by <a href=\"http:\/\/gastontrussi.500px.com\/\">Gaston Trussi<\/a>, one the attendees in my past street photography workshop in Sydney. I think that what makes &#8220;food&#8221; a great theme is that without it &#8211; we would literally be dead. It also brings friends, families, and acquaintances together &#8211; and has strong roots to the society we live in.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>How to enter<\/strong><\/em>: Next week, go out and shoot what you perceive to be &#8220;Food&#8221; &#8211; and upload your<strong> best (1) shot<\/strong> to my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/erickimphotography\">Facebook fan page<\/a> by Thursday midnight. Why Facebook? It makes it easier to organize the entries and sort through them!<\/p>\n<p>Keep reading to see the other great examples of hands from the community, as well as timeless shots from the masters!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>From the Community<\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-style: initial;
