But the final  notification date has passed for the top prizes so it looks as if they aren’t going to send me & mary  around the world or where ever they are sending the winner. but life isn’t so bad. i am really looking forward to see the results because it’s quite an honor to be selected for anything. i am just a guy who shoots pictures, don’t consider myself special, and to be included with these photographers (see archive) it’s some honor, there are moments in life that make it very worthwhile just to wake up.

i look everyday for a link to all the winners and honorable mentions, hey that’s me!

now what do i do?

‘Celt’ shoot

August 18, 2009

well it’s been awhile since my visitor the Celt left back across the water to her home in merry old england and i’ve not even visited this site in how many months. the problem is that i journal, something i’ve picked up years ago after being turned on to the book from a neighbor. i did go to a workshop lead by the co-author who said the major asset was in the journaling. well i got into that and it just stuck.

but i am a photographer and take pictures so without them what’s the point of being here? so onto the meat of the day or should i say entree as ‘meat’ might be politically incorrect and i really don’t like to offend people, but i seem to have a knack.
