    Chest Thump Time

    Going to brag a bit here but something happened this weekend that I am very blessed with. I entered an art show sponsored by an art guild in a neighboring town. I entered three photographs in three different categories. Much to my surprise I received three ribbons. An honorable mention in botanical, first place in portrait and a first place in the open category. My photograph entitled "End of the Day" was judges best of show which included a trophy and a check. I'm very humbled and pleased so please excuse this blatant chest thumping, but I wanted my PR friends to share in the honor since I owe much of my success to the advice and encouragement I have gotten over the years here on PR.

    Congratulations Larry!

    Well deserved awards! Especially the First Prize, honors and a check! You certainly could not keep this awesome news from your PR friends!!!!!!

    That "End of the Day" photo looks quite good - even from here!

    I would have been unhappy if you HAD NOT told us about this great honor Larry. Only a humble man like yourself would also give partial credit to PR. congratulations.

    Just found out that that same picture has been selected by KEH Camera as one of their photos of the month. My son is going to start demanding modeling fees.
