Problem is, I never do it. Last summer, I was determined to enter some pictures into the state fair, and even went so far as to have Ross get me the necessary paperwork. What happened? Nothing! I used being pregnant as an excuse to do nothing but lay on the couch and feel sorry for myself most of the summer last year.
This year though, I want to be a little more brave, a little more outgoing, and a little more bold. If I could take pictures for a job, I'd be the happiest girl around. I've got no real training, just an eye for good shots, but I think I could do it. I don't know how to get started exactly, but I'll figure it out.
I did however, just the other day, submit a photo to a gallery of a magazine I read and they put my picture up on their site. I subscribe to a photography magazine called PC Photo. I love reading about cameras, cool gear, and photo shop techniques. This kind of stuff is my dungeons and dragons I suppose. My obsession and hobby. I saw a section on their website the other day where subscribers can submit their "best shot" so I uploaded a picture of Elliott with his helmet on. Guess what! They put it up on their site. I checked today. Cool!
It's not a contest, and I don't get a prize, but I do have my photo on the Internet, which I think is kind of neat.
