Several months ago, I opened an account at www.viewbug.com, an online photo sharing website. The only reason I opened it was to help a fellow photographer out in a couple contests he had entered; to vote, one had to have an account. I really didn't think much more about that site until I got a notification about an "animal horns" contest and decided to enter my kudu photo I took in Africa last year. Well, there was a charge to enter, so this super cheap-skate didn't enter, but I did receive an award from the owners of the website for that photo. (Picture: happy, happy, happy!)
I did not even realize I had received that award until a couple months after the fact as I just didn't check that site much; suddenly, I use that site a whole lot more! Recently I posted a composite photo (2 photo's put together as one) and just received another recognition from the sites judges!
Maybe these awards aren't a big deal, but to me, I find them very encouraging. So, please allow me my little moment of fame to share with you my photo "The West was Settled with Freedom in Mind".
