It's a new month already.
Today I will be packing the motorcycle for a short ride up to a Corps of Engineer campground for an overnight stay, trying out my new tent. It is just a bit larger than the old one, and will allow me to actually stand up. If that works out OK I am hoping to take a bit longer trip next week up to Tennessee for some curvy, scenic back roads riding.
The annual local Artists' Guild awards were Saturday night and I did not win anything. Third place was a B&W print of a guy sitting on a railing... I thought it was good. Second place winner was a double or triple exposure, again very unlike a true to life photo. And first place looked so much like a painting that at first I thought is was when I first saw it. Another photo entry won an award in a different category, and it too was very "painterly". Of course all of the other categories were traditional mediums such as oil, acrylic, watercolor, sculpture, etc. And I am sure the judges were folks who worked in those rather than photography. All in all it was a good showing though with over 200 pieces of art on display.
