Aiming High

    Newer Older

    With the help of two very generous flickr members (you know who you are), I was able to raise the entry/framing fees for the American Society of Media Photographer's juried fine art exhibition at Montclair State University in New Jersey.

    The three submissions that I chose were "Jeff Goldblum Gets Lucky," "I Am A God, Myself, At Night," and "My Heart Shall Bleed."

    There is an opening reception this Sunday where I'll find out if any of them made the cut for inclusion in the show. If so, the work will be on display until June 30th, and there's an opportunity for a cash prize. If not, then I gobble down a few wheat crackers covered in Cheez Whiz, smile, grab my pics and leave.

    I'll let you know what happens. Either this photography thing takes off for me, or I have getting employee discounts at Radio Shack to look forward to.

    Keep those fingers crossed, peeps.

    As a way of returning the extraordinary generosity and support you
    have all shown me in this great community, whenever I upload a new
    pic or series of shots this year, I'll provide a link to another flickr
    photog whose work, personality, or spirit I feel you should discover.

    Visit and introduce yourself. Make a friend. Share the love.

      The Goddess Diana/Artemis is what this photo makes me think of. Excellent color, pose and clarity. Love the feelings I have while looking at this. The best of luck to you in your endeavors into photography. In my book, you're #1!
