Ive driven just under 20,000 miles so far and have plenty more. Flying out to Nashville on Wednesday. 3 Day workshop on Thursday-Saturday, back to Vegas on Monday. I have a few more states to hit, but I may wait until Ive rested up a little and fly out. 🙂
Word is that the entries to the photography contest have been FLOODING in. We don’t have a final count yet, but there are so many I am starting to worry how we will display them all. Just think, a month ago, we had not received a single entry! Im going to open up more award slots (I was originally worried we wouldn’t even have enough for 1st-3rd), but now it will be 1st-5th with Honorable Mentions if they deserve it. This also means I will be adding many, MANY more prizes.
I would really like to make this a learning opportunity and point out why the winners will win and what entrants can do to improve their images next year. It means so much to me that people are taking this seriously because for a while I was thinking “Maybe this is a bad idea….”. I would love to make it an every year contest if we have the continued interest.
It will be a great contest Michael, thank you for the opportunity to participate – are you going to show the wall of entries on the training dvd you are making?
Im trying to figure out how to show all of them on here! 🙂
Can someone remind me who is judging the contest? If you put them up here Michael will our names be on them?
Wow, Michael you have had an amazing trip and thank you for letting us be a stop on it! I think that it would be nice to know why the winners won and what the rest of the entrants can do to improve their pictures. My son and I had a blast going through our shots deciding which ones to enter!!
I think we artistic folks tend to be procrastinators… I had the hardest time with the at home version of the photo contest… (chosing which to submit!)
Yeah, I learned my lesson on the whole procrastination thing. I ended up submitting a photo because I figured I had nothing to lose, but because I waited to long I ended up having it print at a lab where the colors did not end up the same as the colors as the ones I have printed before of the same shot. IDK O’well, at least I got out of my bubble and submitted it anyway. =]
