What's this all about?
Picture Fresno is a photo journey of life in and around Fresno. Each week, members of the community submit photos in response to a theme or challenge, and a panel of judges selects a weekly favorite. Together, these photos tell the story of Fresno.
The greatest email in the world
We'll be tweeting, facebooking and promoting the heck out of the photos submitted each week, but we'll also be sending out a sweet email to announce winners, new themes and more. Don't miss out!

A Fresno hook and ladder team from the city's fire department demonstrated its skills in the middle of Fresno Street near the intersection of Van Ness, circa 1900. Looking east, this view shows the landmark Water Tower on the right. Today, the historic structure serves as the city's Visitors Center. Photograph from Fresno Historical Society Archives.
