Support Entrepreneurial Climate & Small Business

The suggestions on the photo contest website for Support Entrepreneurial Climate & Small Business read:
- Emerging small business and their daily tasks
- Local entrepreneurs
- Young professionals

So to help you brainstorm, let's think about these questions:
- What photos would highlight the entrepreneurial climate here?
- Have you noticed the opening of a new local business?
- Can you capture young professionals in action?

Most likely many of you work at least once a week, meaning YOU are a young professional. Have a friend take a picture of you in your work attire, or have a co-worker snap a photo while you are in action at work. Maybe take a picture of someone in an office, at a meeting, on a computer, by a drawing board, shaking hands, at a service counter, or talking on the phone - you get the idea! Remember, this one's about business so but on that thinking cap...and get down to business!
