Yesterday I went to pick up my photos at the Bellingham Library. I hadn’t been there since I dropped off the photos. I just never got a chance to go to the library for the opening. When I walked in the woman there asks me if I was picking up photos, I was. Then she said okay they are on the wall just take them down and bring them here. I walked over and saw one of mine with a red ribbon next to it, 2nd Place. That was the photo from Photo-A-Day #1000 plus all the photos from my 1st 500 Photo(s)-A-Day in the background. Then I found my photo of the Oregon Farm and that too had a 2nd place ribbon with it. I said, “Huh, wow that is pretty cool.” The woman there heard me and asked if I had been there before to see all the paintings. I was embarrassed to say I hadn’t. I certainly should have been to the opening.
It was a small show but there were a bunch of people who entered. It gave me a little confidence to actually go out and try some other things. I’ll be entering more of these in the future.
Many people have inquired about a 2009 Photo-A-Day calendar. I will take a look at what I have from the past year and see if I have 12 photos I’d like to put into a calendar. Want to help me out? Take a look through my Photo-A-Day 2008 Flickr set and tell me your favorite 12 photos. Just Fav them on Flickr. If you can please spread the word about this through Twitter, Facebook, Etc.
