2007 Convention Highlights...
The top winners in each category get to advance to the international convention where they will compete with the winners from regional conventions across the United States and many countries around the world.
Today the kids arrived home safe and sound. They were also recipients of three medals each, which means they get to advance to the next round of competition at the international convention. They are really proud of themselves.
And I am proud of them too.
This year their photography entries made a strong showing!
If you recall, I was quite disappointed last year because I thought that their photographs were just as outstanding. But none of their entries made a showing.
Carrie entered three categories with two photographs. The one photograph, which was double entered, won in both of its categories. However, it can only advance in one category to the international convention.
Here's Carrie's winning entry:
Parker entered six separate photographs in six categories. These are his three winning entries.
His special effects entry:
Parker took a picture of his friend's cat. He had prolonged the shutter time, so when the cat walked off, it left a ghost-like image behind.
Parker's black and white entry:
Parker's scenic entry:
Well, I had better get to bed. I have a full week-end of assignments plus a term paper that is due next week.
You guys have a great week-end.
