THIRD PLACE!...10/03/08
Out of 173 pieces of photography, this took third place (and yes, I was surprised)! Here's what the judges had to say, "It turns the ordinary into the extraordinary. There was a lot of thought behind it, with a cohesive subject that tells a story, and executed very well. Technically, it is very good - the repitition of shapes, which then gets repeated in the framing is very interesting. The presentation is very hard to pull off and very few get it right. It works because this would not be successful if the images were separate." (***blush***)
My thanks go out to all of you who put your 2₵ in on my choices of what prints to submit. "Please, Have a Seat" was also favored by the judges but only one photo could place. I, personally, liked both but for different aspects of the framed work. Presentation always matters. Dave, you called it and I appreciate that! (Uh, my acceptance speech.)
Tonight's turn out at the gallery was unprecedented. It was a large catered affair (with great wines and foods) and, even though this is a very large gallery, it was packed! It was SO FUN telling people how I did the technical stuff and probably more fun telling them where the inspiration came from (uh, I bought this really pretty tea cup!). My hubby was with me and he spoke to the people that I couldn't get to and I know he was proud. I'm ready for the next competition ("Memories") with my "Old Harley" photo. It will not be judged on technical merit (as was the case tonight) but on it's relativity to the competition title. I may get to submit two pieces so I will either go through what I have or set out to create a nostalgic piece. I think my "Old Gas Pump" could come in handy here. I also have an 8 x 10 wall I need to fill with framed works for October 25. Wow...this is just so exciting!
Here I go blogging again...sorry!
