Wow, I'm a little behind in my blog, but I still wanted to share with my non existent readers, about last months student show and award ceremony and how that all went.
After submitting 7 photographs for consideration by our outside judge, only 5 of them were picked. But I have a feeling she doesn't like weapons because the two that weren't picked involved a shotgun and the other an axe, oh well I still like them. The day of the award ceremony was a good day, I had no expectations of winning anything but I thought it would be nice if I did. So as Rob started giving out awards (Scholarships) for other school accomplishments I knew not to get my hopes up for receiving a scholarship this year, because I thought it would be impossible to get another one sense
I received one last year, and surely they wouldn't give one out two years in a row to the same person, but to my shock (and I was pleasantly surprised) My name was called out to receive the Jerry McGlassen Photography Scholarship all for a Job well done or as it says on my award for Outstanding academic achievements. So the award ceremony went on and all the honorable mentions were mentioned and then they got to the top awards, they had two category's - Other and commercial, all my entries were in the Other category.
Rob proceeded in calling out 4th place first, and I won it, in the Other category for my self portrait then he made it up to, the 1st place Other category and I won that also for my light painting called Jacobs ladder ( which is from a series in a book I'm working on called Illuminations Of Revelations). So I left the award ceremony very happy, with a scholarship, 1st place and 4th place. Yay me!!
