feeling pretty good

i am feeling pretty good about my photography. i didnt think i would have won a prize when i entered the photo contest. granted it wasnt one of theses major photo contests you see in photography magazines and such like that but it is still a photo contest and i actually won something. when i first entered the contest i didnt have high hopes of winning anything. i just wanted to enter it to say that i did. at first when i first seen the photo contest i wasnt going to enter because i was scared that they would think that it wasnt good enough. (i think deep down i have always been alittle scared of what people thinks of photos.) but i got to thinking and told myself that i was going to do it. that i am not going to let my fears stand in my way. if no one likes my photos that is okay. because i do. i am not trying to sell it to them lol. and i do try my hardest to make sure that they are wonderful done because i do hope that one day in the future i can have a small photography business. i have been thinking of starting one just part time but i decided to wait about that for alittle while and i can finish up this photography schooling so i can have a certificate showing that i am a photographer on my wall and every one can see. and i also want to make sure that i am good enough and until after we have moved and settled so that way i am not stressing out to much lol. anyways back to the photo contest. i am so glad that i entered it. it is basically the first one i entered and i won a prize. i did enter some photo contests online but havent won anything from that. plus there are 100s of people entering in those and only like 12 or 13 photos (i had three) entered in the first photo contest so i had a better chance there lol but still wasnt expecting to get anything.

i have won 2nd place over all. i got a ribbon, a picture frame, and a award. i was not expecting 2nd place. i was thinking maybe 3rd or 4th but not 2nd. this lady is happy.

here are some pictures of the things i got.
