But I'm hoping this post of mine will change that. Since DPC has people from all over the country (and planet), I'm hoping for some really nice entries.

From 1971 to 1977, the Environmental Protection Agency hired freelance photographers to capture images relating to environmental problems, EPA activities, and everyday life in the 1970s.

Hi everyone - it's been far too long since I bumped this, but we're still taking entries, and now we're even pulling out featured photos to put into a physical exhibit that will travel to each of our regional offices.
And the Nat'l Archives will put together an exhibit to be shown in 2013.
