high high #22

i love waking up to good news!  especially when the news is that four of my photographs have been selected to be shown at an art exhibit in the new city hall here.  there was over 240 pieces of art submitted, and each artist can have up to five displayed.  so i'm pretty lucky :)

i'm somewhat of an amateur photographer.  i love photography, especially travel photography and portraits (though i'm not really good at portraits).  this is the first time my photography will ever be on display or for sale, which i am thrilled about.  i've always been told i should pursue photography, and i've never taken it too seriously.  it's just something i like to do and if i sell a few here and there, well then that's just fantastic.

so the theme of the exhibit is "bountiful living," which is a little ambiguous.  i submitted some photos that seemed 'bountiful' to me, that were calming and happy.  they selected three that i submitted for that series.  i also submitted a few of my travel pictures for another possible exhibit, and one of those was selected as well.  so i'm a little surprised at the fourth one since it doesn't seem to fit in with the theme, but i'm delighted nonetheless! 

and the chosen photographs are...
