I have so much to say seeing how it's been so long since I last blogged!
Lets see, where to start...Well, a couple months ago my soon to be took me to one of our favorite places, The Great Smokey Mountains! I LOVE taking pictures there! My favorite place there is Cades Cove. For those of you who don't know it is a loop where you can bike, walk (personallly I wouldnt walk around it) or drive your vehicle. You can even rent a horse! There is so much to look at around the loop. I love it! There is so much wildlife to photograph from deer to bear to turkey! I took an amazing shot of the sun setting behind a bare, leafless tree. I absolutley LOVE IT! The colors are AMAZING.
Recentley I (with the help of Chris) found a new place to photograph. Irmo Town Park. We decided that Saturday, September 10th I would do some mini photo shoots. 30 minute free photo sessions. Right now, I just invited my co-workers. I really hope that it goes well. It is more just to get me some experience in portraits.
I almost forgot the best news of all! A couple months ago I entered three of my photos {The Lake At Monticello, Rain Drops on The Green Leaf and The Lonely Leaf in black and white} into the ReStore HeARTist Program. The lady in charge of that program told me that they are doing an exhibit at the 2011 Home Improvement Expo at the convention center here in Columbia. Well, needless to say, I entered my photographs and a week later I got an email letting me know that 1 sold!! :o)
Today, I entered two of my pieces into the South Carolina State Fair Fine Art Expo. All I can do now is hope and pray that the committee approves them and puts them in the Expo then they will be up for sale. The committee will also vote on all the photos entered. I know its wishful thinking but how great would it be if mine got best in show!!
Whoa, maybe I wont wait so long to blog again!
