There it is.
Who knew that this moment, this click of the shutter would become my baby.
I entered 4 photos into the NYS Fair this year. All I was hoping for was to get an acceptance. To have some of my work displayed. I was told by many that it is very hard to get in. It may take years for an accepted photo to be displayed.
When the mail came last week I received the notification cards. Four cards for four photos. As I turned them over, one by one, "not accepted" was all that was checked. That is until I got to the last one, "WINNER" was marked off.
Nothing else was mentioned. 'Winner' could mean 1st-3rd places.
So tonight was the Artist Reception, to see the gallery before the public. I took the kids with me, my friend Emily met me there and Kristin A. came. As I walked around the corner this is what I saw....
BLUE RIBBON!!!!
Can you believe it??? :)
Like I said before this was my baby. This image means a great deal to me. It's my three loves, all together, in a special moment in a special place.
I love it.
It's hanging in the Art and Home Center at the fairgrounds if anyone wants to see it in person. After that... it'll be hanging in my family room! :)
