I've posted two pictures in the I Heart Faces challenges, the latest one earlier this week. I never entered with any real expectation of being chosen as a winner. Out of hundreds of amazing entries by amazing, professional photographers, I was just happy being able to put my humble pictures next to theirs. I was happy to see more hits than normal on my blog, happy to see a few extra comments. To know that even one of my pictures gave even one person pause was all I could ever want or expect.
So imagine my surprise this morning when I opened up the winners of the Family Fun challenge and saw my own picture listed in the top ten! To say I was shocked and maybe thought I was a little delirious is a vast understatement. But mostly I am honored that my little humble picture meant something to a photographer (the guest judge) who's own work amazes and inspires me.
I take pictures for the love of the moment, the love of the camera and the desire to nurture this little spark of talent I maybe have. Thank you I Heart Faces for offering such an amazing community to share something I love so much. Thank you Shalonda Chaddock from Chubby Cheek Photography for giving me a giant pat on the back by choosing my picture. And thank you to my few readers and friends for pushing me to do this. You know who you are! You can find the post here if you're interested, and also please go check out I Heart Faces and maybe enter a picture of your own next week!
Happy Friday my beautiful friends!
