Photography Contest Entries
Well here they are, the photos I entered in the 2007, Fox Cities Magazine: People, Places & Things Photography Contest. The contest is/was open to local, amateur photographers. Photos had to have been taken locally in 2006. Other rules and restrictions also apply/applied. Anyway... Here's what I entered. Entry deadline is/was March 15, 2007. Winning entries will be published in the June 2007 issue, with the overall winner landing on the cover...

I'd Like to Thank the Academy...
Cool, my Lumix / Leica Camera Lens was selected as the Feb. 2007 Squidoo commerce lens of the month. Winning the peoples choice award is very gratifying. I have some people to thank, but first a little irony.
I'm honored, and at the same time baffled. You see I was just rejected for an ecommerce content creator position that I had applied for, at a major non-profit organization that shall remain nameless (for now...). I included the Lumix lens URL in my application letter (email) amongst others. I embedded a tid code in these URLs so I could track visitor stats... Guess what? You know it, the jackasses never even bothered to look at my work! Their loss...
Irony = receiving both an award and a rejection notification, for the same skill set, in the same week... Sometime you just have to laugh.
Thank you and a shout out to:
All the jurists @ By Invitation Only over at Squidoo.
Margaret, for running the lenses and groups promoting the lens.
Zuzanna, for noticing the Lumix lens in the first place ;)
Megan, for the LOTD selection.
Everyone who commented, rated, or in some way interacted with the Lumix Cameras lens.
Anyone that I've overlooked (its getting to be red-eyed time here) who's replied to my blurbs in the lounge.
A special Thank You & You're welcome, to the camera shoppers who've found the information helpful. (You'll enjoy your new Lumix)
and above all...
Seth Godin, for spreading the philosophy and providing the SQUIDOO venue to demonstrate it in action.
Not a sheepwalker in the bunch :)
