Well, I didn’t make it to the finals of the RedBull Illume Photo Contest but am proud to say that I was a semi-finalist.  My photo was among the 250 chosen out of 22,764 photos submitted!  Hmmm, there may be something to this photography thing after all.

This, I’d have to say, was very exciting even though I didn’t make it to the finals.  I looked at the finalists’ and winner’s photos and they all deserve to be there…fantastic photos!  Congrats to them!

I gotta say that I am now more determined, not only to win a contest, but to shoot at a higher creative standard.  These finalists’ and winner’s photos have all inspired and motivated me.  Time to get crackin’!
