I know- it's a bit late but, finally, I feel I'm ready to talk about that night. Now, don't go being too mad at me, my reasoning is that it took me this long to wean myself from the high and now, I do believe I am calm enough to tell what happened- and even then only in snippets.

About a week and a half ago I had my photography vernissage at Dawson College and it was wonderful! I had no idea it would get so busy! Tons of people showed up- on all of our sides!
I had one job that night and it was to co-ordinate the speeches, which meant gathering the student and teacher masses and letting them know where they had to be at a certain time to take part in or hear the speeches. I was so busy night I couldn't even be a good host to my own people that showed up, some as far as Ottawa...
There were flowers of every kind being passed around that night, (so was the alcohol, come to think of it..). Pats on the backs were endless and hugs, well, people just couldn't stop giving them.
Through it all the real star of the show were the photographs. Everybody's work was on display and from the view of each panel you could easily see the level of talent I had to compete with. If my work was good it was because I was surrounded by so many great talents such as my classmates.
They really out did themselves- Bravo!! Congratulations to them all!

I am not going to tell you about the after party because that belongs to us. After the year we had we needed something to call our own. Something that is just for us.
What I will do is show you the eight images that I displayed on my three panels, and the other two I didn't, for lack of space.

As a sidebar, I got some great comments and ideas from the Judges at the public judging and I just want to say thank you!

The proof is in the Pudding

In the past few years I've been going through some things that have caused my photography to come to pretty much a stand still. Plagued ...
