hello, hello! well, i can be as pessimistic as anyone, but sometimes i push through the doubt and try, anyway. last june i saw a a posting about a photography contest by the local chamber of commerce, so i sent in some photos and forgot about it.
a couple of weeks ago, i found out that one of my photos was chosen as a winner along with photos from nine other people and will be featured on its website for the entire year. there's a reception next week and we will be presented with our framed photos, along with $50 (party!).
and then, on friday i took my vintage yashica film camera out to photograph the snow. when i got home, i noticed the battery cover the size of a dime was missing - major ugh! i figured it was within a 10 block radius, so i backtracked and kept thinking i'll never find it with all the shoveling, but i had a better chance if i try. i found it at block number nine! so, never give up, especially since it's the weekend!
xo, cindy

ReplyDeleteThe funny thing about NYC if you lose something you can get a new one in a few blocks. :) Last time I was in NYC my husband's NYC coworker was telling me he doesn't leave his 5 block radius of his apartment for all necessities. Funny!
Cindy! A huge congrats - how wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Kim Richey!
Congrats Cindy!!
ReplyDeleteDid you happen to see the story of the guy how found a roll of film in Central Park, I think it was??? Or some park around New York. He developed the film, and there were amazing black and white images on it. I think he posted a small video on You tube, to see if the owners of the film comes forward.
At least you were able to find your battery cover!
of course you won!!! never any doubt :)
