A question was asked about whether photo posted here have to be from the Pacific Northwest. The short answer? No, they do not.
We are "Focused on the Pacific Northwest", but neither the photographers or the photos have to be from this region. We have chosen this niche to avoid being just another photography website, there are far too many of those. So the idea is that the members will share a common interest in the Northwest. Also, since there are a lot of Northwest Residents, you'll have an easier time of finding local knowledge and information. Looking for a great place to shoot? Chances are, somebody here can give you some ideas.
However, you can post photos taken wherever you'd like, and anyone is welcome to join in no matter where they live. The "Pacific Northwest Photo Guide" is the only area that's really specific to the Pacific Northwest. Even it's not all that exclusive, how'd Montana get it there for heaven's sake? (The western part is a lot like the Northwest, so I expanded the definition a bit more than most mapmakers would.)
