win an award for my photography

This wasn’t quite what I had in mind for this goal, but one of my pictures was selected to be published on exposures online for one of their products. I got a $50 gift card for it, so technically I’ve won an award. :)

I am going to enter a photo in the County Fair this year.

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 seldom leave my house without a camera. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mommyneen are some of the ones I have taken if you want to check them out, leave a comment if you see something you like.

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.

you just have to enter a lot of contests. Look for local art festivals, and also look in photography magazines. POPPHOTO.COM has one every single month.

Havent yet made a pic which people have said, “awesome”.. Well, there is one, but, come on, just one?
