We recently kicked off a new listener challenge. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, involves photography. Married photographers Jerry Uelsmann and Maggie Taylor have provided ten elements for you to use to create a new image. We've already received hundreds of cool submissions. A photomontage from graphic artist Andrea Little from Houston, Texas, incorporates all ten elements to dress up the old photo of a man in a bowler hat: butterfly eyelashes, angelic wings, leafy plumes. Little says she took a page from Terry Gilliam: "I always think about that foot that he smashes things with on Monty Python so I said, I'm going to put that hand sticking out in the middle of nowhere and coming out of the frame." Deadline for entries: 11:59pm ET on December 2, 2012 â?? See all the submissions UPDATE 12/21: The winner of our contest is Rhett Rebold.
