Photo of the Day

When it rains, it pours. I've been quite lucky in my favorite online photo contests. I say luck and mean it. There are a lot of great images that aren't selected. So, I feel very proud, but also very lucky when one of my images is selected. Today, it is this little guy at shutterbugs.biz. Isn't he adorable? I just love a newborn in a tight swaddle, wrapped up all snug, like a little burrito. And, the antique chair shows such perspective. They're not this small for very long, are they? The title of this image is "New life, old chair".

Photo of the Day

I receive an email from a photographer friend yesterday telling me that I had a Photo of the Day on shutterbugs.biz. Whoo hoo! This site has become increasingly competitive, with over 2,000 entries each day competing for a single winner in each of seven categories. I enter the competition quite sporadically, so I very often forget to check the results. Thank goodness for friends who "have my back".

The photograph below is the winner in the People Category for 1/7/08. Hurray! Isn't she beautiful?! It's called "Striking Eyes", because I just can't believe how beautiful her eyes are. This pretty little girl is now a big sister. Her new little brother is less than a week old! Congratulations to the "S" family on your newest addition!
