Urban Ambience - I Won Director's Choice!

Journal Entry: Mon Apr 21, 2008, 8:11 AM
The public reception for the Urban Ambience gallery was on Friday. I almost didn't go, but am glad I did, because as it turns out, I won Director's Choice for the piece below. Sam called with the good news as I was on my way. Thanks man. If you hadn't called, I would have probably detoured off at the Founder's Day Carnival in Dripping Springs :-) At any rate, this is my first real recognition as a photographer since starting all of it this past winter. It was a real pleasure meeting Carol Watson and checking out her gallery, as well as meeting other artists at the reception from all over the state. So if you ever find yourself in Johnson City (maybe for some beef jerky or a sculpture ranch?), stop in the Watson Studio Gallery and peruse the works. There's a lot of cool stuff. And mine will be right by the front door. They're for sale, too, if you're into that sort of thing :-)

Thanks! Things are good, really good. Sometimes I need to go in to let things out, you know? I took a break for a while and now it's like being a photography virgin all over again. Purely inspired! Congrats btw! I'm so glad you're getting the recognition you deserve. Very well done indeed Mr Cokerbutters. :)

Thanks for the welcome! I loved your pic, and your gallery too. Your dog is adorable. I hope to put some art on here eventually too! Mostly writing....no space to make the work right now...
