Another photo victory!

[agt_spooky]

I have more good news on the photography front!

Last week my awesome hubby found out that our largest local newspaper runs a Photo of the Week contest on their website. The finalists each week then compete for the monthly grand prize of a $50 gift certificate to a local photo store and an interview in the paper. (Ironically it's the same photo store I've been shopping at since I was in high school.)

So just for the heck of it I sent in a photo last week, then promptly forgot to check the website for the finalists until yesterday.

And look what I found at the # 2 spot!




I'm a finalist on my first try! Woot!

I can enter every week this month, and the more times I make the finalists the better my chances of winning the grand prize. Wish me luck!

Now I gotta go pick another photo to send in. :-)
