Description
Every year, The Brian Lehrer Show asks you to submit the best photo you took that is sitting on your phone – and every year, you deliver with some truly impressive snaps!  This year, you submitted over 700 photos. Our partners at Photoville, along with a special guest judge, New York Times photographer, Michelle Agins, picked out their 60 favorites (check out that gallery, here). Brian speaks with Michelle Agins and Photoville's Dave Shelley about the three winning photos, which you can see below. Plus, hear the winning photographers talk about their submissions. Partner's Note: Photoville will be celebrating it's 11th festival this year with a city-wide celebration in June. They will be announcing a call for proposals later this month.
