misc crap, photography 
1 Comment honours
Another camera club night has been and gone and again, I did very well! I walked away with First Place (with Honours as only honours images are eligible for podium) overall in the intermediate grade! YAY!
Here is the winning entry:
A stunning image right? I actually went to the effort of getting this printed and framed and gave it to my Mum for Mothers Day. So she has the winner hanging on her office wall right now.
When I say to people I walked around the corner in Plaza di Panama, Balboa Park, San Diego, saw this and went wow, they say it sounds so cliché but the truth is the whole architecture of the Plaza was wow. We don’t have anything like this in New Zealand. The place is visually stunning and this photo is just one walkway of many, a stolen moment from the afternoon we were there.
Late last night while researching some photoshop techniques, I came across LPSNZ honours and in my usual easily distracted fashion, I decided to look into what is required. Its tough. A set of 10 images equally as strong as the other. I could do this. I could make this a goal to get LPSNZ honours next year if I really put some effort in and find the right mentor to help me.
This got me thinking and a few friends are giving me the shove in the correct direction, that I should start kicking things up a gear, and for me, a view to honours. They’re keen to commission me for a series of photographs of landscapes and architectural photographs as well.
So there it is, a goal – LPSNZ honours. Try until I get them. And finally, some photography work that might actually pay (even if it is only peanuts and wine)
