Well, I did not win the local group, which means knocks me out of the competition. I had a good chance, and honestly thought my entries were strong contenders. You never know what strikes a cord with the person who chooses. I had a great time, and got some great photo's. Since then, have not done much. Took Kim to the Bronx Zoo, and she took some great pictures. I'm hoping the shutter bug bites her, but so far, only a mild interest. She set-up a Flickr account, and posted her best picks. Lot's of fun.
On another note, I was contacted by a publisher of a tourism website, and two of my photos from my trip to Austin Texas were being considered for use on their web site.
The photos were of signs from two night clubs. Of course, It was disapointing they wanted them for free, but they promised a photo credit. I have mixed feelings about my photos being used for commercial purposes, without compensation, but it felt good to know they were recognized for quality. Since I accepted, and the shots are published.
I was pleased that they asked me for permission first, and offered the photo credit. They're used quite small to, so I'm fine with that. As my photography improves, I may think twice about freebies. In this case, I did'nt mind.
