A Little Artistic Validation…

Have I wanted to prance (yes, prance) around in front of my vanity mirror clutching an imaginary award and saying “You like me, you really like me,” this month? Well, yes. Did I? No, because my silliness only goes so far. But if you check out http://www.oregonlive.com/travel/index.ssf/2011/04/winning_entries_in_the_oregoni.html or pick up tomorrow’s copy of The Oregonian, you will notice that I won again in the Oregonian Travel Photography Contest! It’s not as good as last year’s first place win, but second isn’t anything I’ll complain about…

A lesser distinction, but nonetheless a cherry on top: I just found out that one of my images will be in CNN’s iReport feature on Portland next week. Yay!
