My photograph of a boat in our local marina just won 1st place in the Comox Valley Art Gallery PHOTOPIA JURIED PHOTO CONTEST AND EXHIBITION! There was an awards ceremony and I won the top prize of 125 smackeroos and got a nifty gold embossed certificate for my wall. *The money will go towards a new camera as mine currently has duct tape holding the batteries in.
Better than the ceremony or the cash though, is the exposure. I hope my new moniker 'the award winning photographer' opens a few doors...or at least a buffet or two. I'm feeling peckish.
Here she is, my winning picture: *click on pics to enlarge

CHEERS!
These are gorgeous, Denise. The top one looks like a painting (which is funny, in a way, because so often people say of paintings, "It looks just like a photograph!") Congrats on the win.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mathew! It's very encouraging to win something like this...much like writing, one craves validation. I would snap pics and write without it, but it is nice to have nevertheless. :)
