Thanks everyone! I was excited to see them hanging for sure. Of course I didn't win anything or even get honorable mention... no photographers did. You were only allowed to enter two pieces and I was the only photographer and 1 of only 10 people (out of 300 entries) with both works included in the show, so that was encouraging. Those darn painters get all the glory though!!! Thanks again. Shawn

Congrats Shawn.

The "Pond Scum" is very creative. Taking something mundane and creating art from it. The echoing lines and shapes really resonate through this photograph and the entire series.

Keep up the good work.

Yours;

Congratulations on the show, Shawn. They need to see more than two of them together.

All the best,

Chris, This is more than being creative with mundane things in life. These pictures are examples of the beauty and interconnectedness of life. They are that partly because they are beautiful objects, but more importantly, Shawn, as the creator, has a connection with life that allows him to see that interconnectedness. Almost as important as that is, it is his ability with the medium that enables him to confidently convey that which he sees-- or rather, feels.

Doc, Keep em coming.

Thanks all, very much appreciated.

Richard,
In terms of my intentions, you took a big swing and hit the nail square on the head. As far as your comments about my vision, feelings and abilities to convey them... I'm not sure what to say except thank you and it means much to me. doc
