A New Camera and Gallery Night!

Can you guess what's in my head? I hope so bcause it's right in the title of this blog. A NEW CAMERA! Technically it's lightly used, but it's new to me!! Let me tell you the story; it's amazing! I had my pictures displayed at the Fair and and one of the ladies in my photo club volunteered to work the photography section one day. A man that used to be in the club went to visit the exhibit and the two of them got to talking (they were old friends.) Well what would they be talking about, except for little old me's photos! He was in love with some of my images, and asked her what kind of camera I used. She told him that I used a point-and-shoot (Panasonic Lumix DMZ-FZ5). He was amazed and decided to GIVE me a Canon 20D that he hardly used. He also threw in a camera bag (a pretty nice one too), two lenses, and two memory cards! And me and my mom were praying that I would get at least one ribbon at the Fair! Not only did I get three Rosettes, 10 blue ribbons, and a whole bunch of other ribbons, but I also got a camera! God is good!___ Here's what's in my head about Gallery Night--IT WAS AWSOME!! Thanks to everyone who came! Ya'll are such an encouragement! I did sale two pictures! We were very excited about that! (To be honest, they were my first official sales!) I sold "Point of View" and "Guardian." I was also presented with several exciting opportunities! I was invited to join in a charity gala event next year, invited to a call-to-artists contest for a magazine cover and gallery space, and a request to partner with a photo-essayist to put together a book!! I really feel like I am lifting off from planet ameteur!! (okay, that was really cheesy, but you guys get the drift...) I love you all! Your Southern Belle.

WOW
wow that sounds really cool. Can you elaborate on what the opportunities were that were presented to you. Or is that something that can not be disclosed at this time. And just in case your wondering, Point of view was one of my favorite animal pictures besides the giraffe. I am glad you sold it. keep on going. And don't stop. I am sure EVERYONE is rooting for you.
