Disappointment and Hope...


Life is a very strange bedfellow. It smothers you with kisses and then kicks you in the balls - sometimes at the same time. I started this week feeling okay then I received my Dear John from the organisers of the Landscape Photography of the Year competition. We have all had these...its been very hard...very high standards etc..etc. You can almost hear the '...its not you its me...' line. Anyway, they rejected my submission. Much chuntering and cursing by myself.

Then this minoring - at 04:59hrs?? I received the kisses. I have been short listed for the British Wildlife Photography Awards. Now I am aware there is no guarantee that any of my photographs will make the final selection let alone win any prize but is is a positive step forward. Needless to say my spirits are very high this morning - but there is still a lot of hard work to be done. I have to ensure that the Hi Res Tiffs and their corresponding RAW files have the correct URN and then copy them onto disk and so on. So my fingers are crossed along with many other cliche I may wish to use. It's turning out to be a memorable photographic year for me - long may it continue.
