Well, last night was a blast! Heidi, Paul, Porche, and I went to the King and I for dinner then headed down to the reception. My first gift from the universe was someone pulling out of a parking space just as I pulled up to Browns Race. Parking can be a pain if you don’t want to spend the cash on the parking garage, so I lucked out there. The real surprise of the night happened after I got upstairs. Joe Blackburn was near the entrance as I walked in. He saw me, pointed me where to pick up my name tag, told me my prints were hanging around the corner, and then said I had a nice surprise waiting. It was somewhat crowded already, so I decided to pick up my tag first, as it was easier walking in that direction. As I made my way around to my prints, I noticed that the Twins had a ribbon next to it. Turns out it won a Jury’s Choice award! It ranked in the top five scores out of something like 154 images. How about that! I was flying high all night. It didn’t hurt that I got loads of compliments and that there were a couple of posters of the invitation in the room. There was a pretty good sized one at the entrance. I grabbed some digital pics of the evening that I’ll post later. I got to chat with some photographer friends and made some new ones too. I was sorely tempted to buy several of the images hanging. Stop down and check it out. There’s a lot of great pieces up.
