I'm back too! And completely inspired!

[opus]

OK, I was just gone for less than a week, but I've come back a new person. I learned SO MUCH about photography and am encouraged and inspired!

About that contest that I entered my six Paris shots in ("A Sense Of Place") ... I won Runner Up. The winner absolutely deserved to win. She's studying for her Masters in Photography at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, and her six photos were of children in Zimbabwe, and technically excellent. Her shots looked like they were straight out of National Geographic. I'm honored to have been Runner Up to her. BUT, Robert Holmes (http://www.robertholmes.net/bio.htm) told me that if there had been one Single Shot winner, it would have been my picture of the Paris couple in the snow. SO, I'm happy. I've got a lot to learn though.

Hopefully from now on you'll see me posting much better photographs! (But I'm sure I'll still experiment and ask your opinion if the experiment works.) I may even "unveil" sometime soon. In fact, how about if I post a full-body shot of myself here, that I took the day I got to SF? I'm the one on the right.
