I entered the above photos into a
contest in Glenn, Michigan (in three
different categories), and each one
won a prize. The photo of the man
and his dog on the snowy beach won
first prize in its category and first
prize overall, and the dog and the
flower in the glass each won second
prize in their categories. I was
humbled and embarrassed to win
prizes in each category, but
truthfully, I had beautiful subjects,
so the rest was easy. Thanks to my
mom for asking me to enter.
This photo won first prize for color photographs at a
Juried Photography Exhibition at Graue Mill in Oak
Brook, IL. The Exhibition will be at the Graue Museum
from October 2nd through October 28th. I was walking
in the city one day when I walked by this restaurant
and saw the shot. Fortunately, I had my camera.
Thanks to all of my friends at DeVry Online who helped
me choose this one over a couple of others!
