As a traveling pipette technician, "back to school" means long and late hours in university research labs cleaning & calibrating pipettes before school starts. This picture is a window reflection of my work area around 12:30am. You can see the parking garage through the window. This was taken with the Toroplus running the unofficial cm10.2 release and Moto X camera app while tuned to Ziggy Marley via Google Play Music. I'm working my way through free online coding courses as I sit in hotel rooms, M-F every week. A Chrome Pixel would be a welcome improvement over my 4 year old HP. Thanks for providing a reliable source of the latest happenings, you guys are best in class.
*edit: photo was auto-enhanced via G+ as well

Going back to school means setting several redundant alarms in a futile attempt to undo the horrid sleeping habits I'd developed over the summer.

P.S. You have no idea how hard it is to take a low light shot with the Galaxy Nexus. Rube Goldberg would have been proud of my setup.

Taken today August 21st in Candugay, Barili, Cebu Philippines. I really didn't expect this result, my 3 year old daughter is playing outside our place running everywhere. I'm having hard time taking a good shot, knowing I only got an LG Optimus net dual P698 phone. While she runs and jump over a semi-cliff like thing, scared of her action because she jump so high and didn't think twice if she will be hurt during her landing while holding my LG coming out of nowhere I took a quick shot unto her then came over to her to aid her, now look what I got.

Hope you like it.

I captured the attached image with a Samsung Galaxy S 4G, in hopes that it would lead to a Nissan GT-R. Until the Nissan GT-R happens, the Honda Civic will be my ride back to school. Yet, perhaps the attached image may lead to a Chromebook Pixel and a Google Play edition device!

EDITED ENTRY

Hi, I have changed me entry as I believe that this new one is more fitting to the topic "Back To School" and how I see myself back at school.

Device: Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 running Cyanogenmod 10.1.3 RC2
Camera: Stock CyanogenMod camera with default settings
Additional software: Aviary

The following picture illustrates my excitement and continuous satisfaction with solving problems. Mathematics is a subject that I am renowned for in my school - on the breaks I learn mathematics, at home I learn mathematics, on the train to and back from school I learn mathematics. Mathematics is my life. I believe the Chromebook Pixel and and a Google Edition device will be able to even further develop my keen interest in mathematics. I will most surely need a new laptop for when I go to university in a years time and I believe the Chromebook Pixel will be more than enough.

Thank you for considering my picture and thank you for the giveaway Android Central, I hope to see a lot of great entries.


OLD ENTRY - PLEASE DON'T TAKE THIS INTO ACCOUNT
I did this whilst on holiday, I hope it will inspire me this school year (the owl represents wisdom and the ability to see things that are hidden to others) . The photo was taken at Muncaster Castle with an Owl sanctuary.

Device: Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 running the last 10.1 nightly of Cyanogenmod for the device (13.08.2013).
Camera: Stock Cyanogenmod 10.1 camera with default settings
Additional software: Aviary (cropped, filters, blurs, lights, sharpening), Photoshop Touch (light source - top right)

Took this with my Note 2. Instagram filter and meme generator.
I purchased two Nexus tablets for my class because CCSS (state testing) will now be done with computers and ipads. Pen and paper pencils are being pushed out. In theory this would work well, but I teach in an inner city school where students don't even have internet access at home and funding is scant. If you look to the upper right, you an see the steel bars across the windows to keep out robbers.

I purchased the Nexus tablets so that my students can at least have some experience with technology. I also had to buy them because that is the laptop that I was given after a year of requests.
AOL, 128mb RAM, 14GB harddrive, Windows 98. Those specs aren't even acceptable for low range smart phones but I have two of these babies ready to go!

I saw tons of pictures where people deserve these just as much as me so best of luck to everyone, but my class and myself would definitely appreciate any one of these prizes!

Used a Galaxy S3. No editing done except for obvious crop. Just wanted pictures of the kids before they started on their big school adventure this year.
What can I say, I'm a working mom who and my youngest started school... ALL MY KIDS ARE NOW IN SCHOOL! At least I was excited!

On the way into my Granddaughters first day at PreK-3, we stopped for a brief moment on the steps of the Church near her classroom.

We talked of how tall she was yet how small she was compared to the steeple on the church. That conversation quickly changed, as the mind of a 3 year old does, and we began to talk of her new teacher Ms. Kelly. I take every opportunity to document her first days so she and her mom (who works midnight's) can share those times later in the day.

As I glanced over to the side of where we were standing, I caught a glimpse of her shadow on the white column. I quickly took a photo of her beautiful smile and her holding the sweet little bouquet of purple morning flowers she had picked for her teacher in our yard just before we left for school.

This photo will be a cherished reminder of our morning conversation and precious memories of her first day of Pre-K3.
