Every month or so I receive an email from Artomatic, a local group that when they can takes over a vacant commercial space or empty office building and turns it into an temporary art space. In the email were listings of regional events, including a call for submissions for the Graham Slaughter Biannual Photography Competition at the Dorchester Center for the Arts in Maryland. It was interesting, but I have not had much luck in juried competitions. But I already had the photo printed and framed, what did I have to lose? So I sent it in.
As they say, even a broken clock is right twice a day. I received an email saying the work has been accepted for the show. I will drive over and drop it off today. How fun.
Anytime you are thinking, I don't know, maybe I am not talented enough, my work is not that great, stop and ask yourself, what do I have to lose? Not much, take the chance.
Well done, and it is a good photo. It could be titled "Get me to the church on time".

DeleteI do love this photo. How exciting!
ReplyDeleteOne out of 4,350 taken on that trip.
DeleteCongrats! It's a very intriguing photo that really draws in the viewer. Where did you take it -- France, Quebec or elsewhere?
ReplyDeleteWaiting for the RER C in Paris.
DeleteIt never hurts to try, but if you don't try you'll always wonder ...
ReplyDeleteTrying is avoiding a failure to launch.
DeleteHow exciting for you! If you don't try, you'll never know. You caught a cool moment in time.
ReplyDeleteAnd a long drive to the eastern shore of Maryland to drop off the work.
DeleteCongrats! You have many wonderful talents, David.
ReplyDeleteI try.
DeleteGood for you and congratulations. It's a great photo!
ReplyDeleteI should try more often.
DeleteThat's why art is in the eye of the beholder. One person might not like photography....but someone else it might be their favorite medium.
ReplyDeleteThere was a glass mosaic in the gallery that blew my mind.
