The other night I gathered up all of our bills and stacks of junk mail. I always say I’m going to go through the mail each day and toss out all the junk so I don’t have a mondo pile to go through all at once, but I never do. So, I’m going through the giant pile and I see an envelope addressed to me that looks like junk. I open it and I see a photo that I took a while back along with a bunch of forms. Confusion sets in. So I read on and the letter states that I entered a photo contest and mine was chosen to go into the book that they are making. Slowly I remember entering this contest months ago and waffling between two photos, unsure of which one I liked better.
Here’s what they had to say to me “Michelle, your photograph was selected for publication because of it’s unique perspective and your artistic vision”. Wee hooo!!!
I realize that this is a form letter sent to each person who was chosen to be in the book, but I don’t care. Unique perspective and artistic vision…ahhh. OK, I’m done being humble.
The thing is, since I am so lazy when it comes to going through the mail, the date on it was early January. And it said if I wanted to be included in the book and be published to sign and send back immediately. Oh well, we’ll see if it makes it there before press time.
Here’s the shot
