Photo Contest
Last Wednesday I submitted some photos into our school-sponsored contest. I spent more time than I liked to admit choosing the 5 we were allowed to submit and writing their corresponding captions, but my fingers are crossed. There are cash prizes, but I would be more than happy with just having the honor of someone else appreciating my photos as more than memories of a semester abroad, especially because I am so new at this whole photo-capturing business. I have included the descriptions I submitted in the caption section for each photo (you have to click on the link to get to the photo). In a similar vein, I also submitted to the school’s glossy-paged literary magazine and I think the editor confirmed that I will have some photos in the Spring edition.
Wooden Staircase in Torre degli Asinelli
Update: Second Prize for Garlic Merchant!
Oh, wow - that’s cool that you’re submitting some of your work. I happen to like the staircase one the best - reminds me of a real life MC Escher painting. Glossy pages = win.
