win a photography contest

I am currently going to enter a few.. I am taking a class in Composition so hopefully that will help me out!

I`have dreaming about be a photograpfer since i was child. Now I`m 20 and have tons of photos. I had some exhibitions in galleries but i`have never send any picture for any contest.

So my First step is – to find the contest – and I found one.

Now i have to serch for some god pictures.

i haven’t won a photography contest yet but i did get one published, of harriet tubman’s home for the aged for a children’s book about her. and i’m waiting to hear back about another one that may get published in an online guide to new york city, of morris-jumel mansion. cool.

they both found my photos on flickr.com which got me to thinking about registering some photos at getty images and a few other places with stock photos at the ready. if i get organized and do this the right way, maybe this could turn into another stream of income.

we’ll see. in the meantime, i’m getting back into the habit of taking my camera with me everywhere—especially now that the weather is great. there is so much beautiful architecture all over harlem, so many beautiful sights everywhere i turn, and no one seems to know it…

And I quit submitting my photos to just any contest. But I really need to find some good ones that have some credibility and get some photos sent off.

I got 3rd place in the Washington State High School Photography Contest in 2005, in the handcoloring division. I’m really proud of this, but I want to win 1st next time. I’m going to keep trying because I know that I can get there eventually.

I went on Google and looked for photo contests on the local, provincial, and national levels and I found out that my provice was hosting a contest. I’ve won the weekly contest and now I’m waiting to see if I make it to the top 20 for the grand prize!

Here is my dog Paris hangin around some flowers! She loves flowers outside she always smells flowers that is my inspiration to this pic.!

I was just fooling around trying out my new camera that i got as a graduation present and i just love the lighting and the detail of this photo.

Does High school count?
