It was in the 70s here in Columbia today. Hope it's nice wherever you are.

Buildings and a photo hunt

We hit the road this weekend, and I finally got to play with my large format camera. I can't wait to show you guys two of the pictures I took. I scanned one at a really high DPI, and ran out of time or else I'd be posting it for you tonight. Instead, you're stuck with more clearing out of my backlog, still featuring buildings.



In some really good news, I've been approached by a national-level organization to include my photography in one of their publications. The catch is, they want my photographs sans watermarks. They were taken in October 2009, and I can't find the originals yet! They're not on my PC, they're not on my passport hard drive, they're not on my mac, so they could be two (possibly three) more places. Blah. For a librarian, my pictures are a disorganized mess!

Anyway, I'll give more details once they come available.



In other news, my boss today mentioned doing an exhibit of my photography in the library. That would be super awesome. I need to talk to her more about it.

Well that's all for now, kiddies. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have some better stuff to post.

Heart and Soul Photo Contest

Just when I say in my previous entry that I'm too busy to blog, life handed me a great big piece of pound cake (not literally of course, because if I had pound cake I'd be somewhere besides the computer eating it, but that's about the best sounding thing I could think of at the moment).

I just got notice that I am not a finalist for the Orton Family Foundation's Heart & Soul Photo contest in which I entered, BUT...

The judges liked my entry photos so well that I'm getting a special recognition prize (TBA), AND...

(Gosh this is starting to look like one of those political proclamations, isn't it?)

I was the only person from South Carolina and/or Tennessee represented in the finalists/special recognition winners!

If you're curious, I entered a handful of the pictures from Ridgeway, South Carolina. I just adore that little town.


So there's a happy spot to light up my two extremely busy weeks.

I did upload a few more pictures from my massive backlog to flickr tonight. I need to add my watermark to my Valentine's Day pictures and get them up & out.

Thanks for your patience with me!
