You are invited to take part in building the California Image Library – a photograph library celebrating California's rich cultural and geographic diversity. Anyone can submit photographs for consideration. All you need is a camera and an eye for the people, places, things, and events that make California unique. Once accepted, the photos will be stored in the California Image Library for use on official California websites. When photographs are used, they will be viewed by the thousands of visitors to California on the web.
