Remember that trip I took out to Washington last March? ( Click here to refresh your memory. )
Remember all the photos I took while was out there? ( Click here to see some of my flickr photos from the trip. ) Well, one of them has met with some success.
The first print of it was a huge 55x55inch version that ended up as a living room decoration for a good friend of mine. ( Click here to see it on display. )
I made up another 40x60 inch print that is now hanging in my father-in-law's auto repair shop. A third print ( this one on canvas and quite a bit smaller ) is hanging in my aunt and uncle's auto repair shop in Washington. A fourth, also on canvas, is on the wall in my dad's office. I printed a fifth and gave it to my husband for his birthday. It hangs in his cubicle. Finally, at the urging of my aunt, I made one last print and sent it to her to enter it in the Southwest Washington Fair. She called me today and told me that I can now call myself and "award winning photographer" because my photo won first place in it's category. It completely made my day. : ) Because I know you are just dying to see it, here is the blue ribbon shot.
Pentax K100D, 18-55 kit lens at 35mm, f/4.5, 1/45sec, ISO 200In fact, I was so flattered and surprised that I forgot to ask her if there were any other entries in that category. Maybe it's better to not ask. ; )

I have the first print! HA HA It really is a cool shot. The photos and the big graphic nature of it. I love it and am proud to have it hanging in my house! I still want you to sign it soon!

Thanks you three. :)
Karen, I'm happy to sign it, but now that it's an award winner, I'll have to charge you extra for that.

Or I could sell it right out from under you and replace the space with something else, like a big poster of the Osmonds.
It comes with an official Southwest Washington Fair Blue Ribbon. There are some things that money just can't buy.
