Below is my original post, and I have received a bunch of photos, for which I am thankful.  I have received none from Portsmouth yet – so please folks, snap them and send them!  Also, Beach people – keep ‘em coming.  I don’t yet have photos that represent all of the aspects of Virginia Beach.  Thanks!

Original post:

Over the next few months, 24sevencities will attempt to capture the essence of each of the seven cities, and highlight a few of the best places to be and see.  I’ll write these stories, so they’ll have my quirky perspective — but I hope you’ll help me.

We’d like to get YOUR point of view, in the form of a photo. Send us pictures that reflect the personality and character of life in whatever cities we’re next featuring.  This time it’s Virginia Beach and Portsmouth.  Send us your brilliant photo of the natural landscape, the nighttime hot spots, the cultural landmarks — or  just your favorite place.

We’ll choose the best of your best, and you’ll see them here on our site and in our print magazine Inhabit.

Please send all pictures to leigh.rastivo@24sevencities.com by February 13, 2009.

BE SURE TO INCLUDE:

• your first and last name
• the name of the photographer
• your email address
• information about the place pictured
• the date the picture was taken

Many thanks.
