Wheels: Things that Roll

Darkroom Gallery   /   Deadline: 08/06/14

Next to the discovery of fire, the invention of the wheel has been the most significant achievement in the development of human culture and civilization.

How do you envision wheels in your own life? Maybe you're a car nut, a lover of anything that looks sleek and goes fast, from a Grand Prix car to a NASCAR racer, to a land speed record vehicle. Or perhaps you're more aware of other types of wheels, such as those on bicycles, baby carriages, or trains. And then there are Ferris wheels and pinwheels, skateboards and rollerblades. Conveyer belts and steamboats. The possibilities are nearly limitless.

Wheels is Darkroom Gallery's invitation to you depict your photographic discovery of the wheel. We're looking for photos that feature cars in any and all forms, of course, from the classic car to the newest zero-emission vehicles, but Wheels is not limited to cars; anything that moves or operates on wheels is fair game.
