Corner Member Close Up: Abdulmajeed Althiban

It may not be the most compelling of interviews (but hey, English isn't his first language!), but we've got a fantastic collection of photographs by Abdulmajeed Althiban from Saudi Arabia. These photos speak for themselves anyways! ;)

Corner Member Close Up: Mohammed Ali AlQahtani

It's Friday, and you know what that means, right? Time for another photographer interview on the Corner Blog! This week, in our "Corner Member Close Up," we meet MAAQ (Mohammed Ali AlQahtani) from Saudi Arabia. While the interview below is fairly short (you try doing an interview in another language!), the 20 photographs are fantastic (and it includes his 4th place finish in the 2009 Photograph of the Year contest - Lemon Splash). Always fun to meet the photographers who hang out around the Corner, and this week is no exception.

Sand Waves is the December 2009 Photograph of the Month

December 2009 Photograph of the Month - Sand Waves by Abdulmajeed Al-ThibanThe final Photograph of the Month contest of 2009 has come and gone (well, the January 2010 contest runs the last week of December, but that’s to crown the PotM for January 2010, so it doesn’t count). After tallying the votes, Abdulmajeed Al-Thiban squeaked out his first PotM victory (and with only 3 posts in the forums to date, I might add) with his photograph “Sand Waves.” The thumbnail on the right here doesn’t do it justice, though. Check out the full-sized image posted in the award thread (and while you’re there, make sure to congratulate and encourage Abdulmajeed on his first Photograph of the Month win)!

The contest was sponsored by one of our favourite sponsors at Daymen Photo Marketing and have awarded Abdulmajeed a Lifetime, Level I Premiere Membership. If you haven’t already, make sure to check out all the photographs that Sand Waves battled against in the December 2009 Photograph of the Month Photo Gallery. Oh, and if you want to see the final voting results, they’re now posted in the voting thread.

If you want to have a photograph nominated for the next Photograph of the Month contest, all you have to do is post photographs up in the forums and galleries and hope that a Premiere Member will nominate one of them (or become a Premiere Member and nominate a photograph yourself!).
