win an award for my photography

It was last minute, but I finally found info on entering into our local County Fair photography competition. Of course they were due that day, but I managed to pick three photos, frame and mat them and get them to the fairgrounds and checked in, on time.

The day of judging came and went, and the next day we went as a family to enjoy the fair. I went into the Exhibit hall, really not expecting much, but to my surprise and delight, two of my three photos won first prize in their category.

I can hardly wait to enter again next year.

I love photography. I am admittedly self-taught, and probably most of my stuff is fairly ho-hum, but once in a while I get a shot that makes me think I’ve got at least an ounce of potential.

I have gotten into (and continue to get into) at least one show that really makes me feel I’m on the right track, but it would just mean so much to really get at least one shot that really makes people sit up and take notice. What I’d really love to do is to win an award – you know something that tells me that I’m not just a hack with a good camera.

I’d also like to get into a reputable gallery at some point, but one thing at a time.
