Two years ago I entered 10 photos in the Ozark Empire Fair, and I didn’t win anything. This year I entered 10 photos, and I got one 2nd place and two 3rd place awards! I had to turn my exhibits in last Saturday and, as usual, I had procrastinated, thinking I would do them the week before they were due. Well, I was little busy with planning a funeral, and so I didn’t even get started on them! My “plan B,” after seeing how short my time was to work on them, was to just enter the Crater Lake shot (which won 3rd place). But then I woke with insomnia Saturday morning about 3 am, so I got up and worked on my exhibits! I knew pretty much which photos I was going to use, but I didn’t know what text or layout I was going to use for the text items. That just flowed that morning! Richard helped me quickly matt them, and we dashed to town to check them in!

This year they had a new photography event which I also entered. Contestants were to wander the fair today (day one of the fair) taking photos and submit their best via email by 8 am tomorrow morning. This is the photo I am submitting. I’ll let you know how it did! I took about 325 photos! Richard said for me to get it down to about ten, and he’d help me from there. We both picked this one.Click here to see the rest of the “better” photos I took today. |
