Each time you'll learn a new way to present it or a venue that will like what you do. That's pretty much how it works in the arts. It's all so subjective.Churlitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05018288474865559384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9544790.post-12858101569406638392010-06-01T08:21:35.805-07:002010-06-01T08:21:35.805-07:00Dude, your pictures are in a whole different leagu...Dude, your pictures are in a whole different league.

I honestly think, when you go to pick up your photographs, you should ask what kind of background/qualifications in photography, if any, the judges have. Not out of poor sportsmanship, but out of genuine curiosity. If they are just little old ladies who chose winners based on cuteness, then you really can't put too much weight on their decisions. I know it probably doesn't help right now, but in time it will: you know how much your skills grown through this project, and that alone is priceless. You have a great eye and tons of people who enjoy your work and look forward every day to seeing the world through your eyes. I love you and am so very proud of your photography skills. Please don't let this setback put a bad taste in your mouth for photography - I (and SO many others) want for you to continue.Miss Sassy Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15669986653956419139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9544790.post-36206775533146599052010-05-27T20:31:52.546-07:002010-05-27T20:31:52.546-07:00I can't even begin to say how disappointed I w...I can't even begin to say how disappointed I was in the judging. Your pictures, obviously, I feel are the best because I'm your mom. But, there were also some other great photographs that didn't even receive any recognition. There were some that did that should never have received the recognition. I don't get it but it doesn't really matter. What matters is that you have grown in your skills and you have a huge, huge, fan base. The County Fair was obviously not the place for you to showcase your work. Keep it up my darling. You are amazing.Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296947419976754339noreply@blogger.com
