Juried Show Update

Congratulations for winning on your term Jim!

 

Well James ?!?!?!?

It sounds as though you won, instead if being the judge's choice, you were the fan's choice. It speaks volumes when folks come forward to ask for copies of something that you have because they want it for themselves. Someone else may have won the official prize, but they may not have drawn the interest that you did. Hold your head high, Jim, it doesn't always take a judge to announce who the real winner is. Congratulations on putting up your best effort, Mrs. Hubbard and the rest undoubtedly feel the same.

 

Well, you got what you deserve....REAL recognition! Congratulations. Goes to show you that the real art is the kind the people, not the 'experts' like.
You are definitely the real winner this time around

 

Hi Jim,

This all sounds like good news.

One thought, you should try to see if Margot (Your new patron ) is agreeable to letting you have the right to sell any of the photos you take on her property. Sort of like a model release. I'm not sure how formal it should be, maybe only verbal is OK, but in today's' world, I'm never sure. Maybe some of the pros or semi-pros here can add their thoughts.

Again, great to hear the news.
Bob

 

How great is that to be recognized by those viewing your images. Your photo "Simplicity" is truly a beautiful shot and was my first choice as well. That is a neat story about Margot and her offer to let you tour her place, this plus the fact that she has already bought two of your works of art. You are definitely a winner and I hope you feel like such. Congratulations on your sales.

 

Well that is great news Jim and well deserved, you have some fantastic photos!! Congratulations!!!!

 

THAt is so fantistic..

see i told yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
judges suck

way to goooooooooooooooo

I am elated

woooohooooo
gooooooooo JIM

love ya

 

Hey Jim,

Congratulations! And from the sound of the interest there you'll make way more than the $500 the guy with the horse pictures took home. I'm sure you would have much rather won and had the honor of winning but like you said yourself, you trumped this one hands down.

The coolest part is being able to shoot from the little old lady's property. Can't wait to see what you capture there.

Keep on posting!

 

Way to go JAMES!!!!

Sounds like you came out a winner, even if you didn't get a ribbon. Congratulations.

 

Congrats, Jim!! Really sounds like you won the bigger price - recognition by the people and the chance to shoot at a new, private location. I know none of us agree with the judges choice, but you'll come out ahead in the long run!

Congrats!

Judges Smudges. Sounds like your fan base just grew some more. You know you gots lots of fans on this site.

Besides I already awarded you 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th place the other day.

 

Jim very often in those concours the winner are choose in advance it happens to my sister a couple of years ago at a show organise by a big paint company, they invented a categorie at the last minutes (the best all categorie) which she won and the best part the company organizing the show bought the 3 paintings she had expose. In making contacts with different peoples might be more profitable to you than winning. Exposure is very good to be recognise and very often word of mouth my open a lot of doors for other expositions.

 

Congrats there is winning and then there is WINNING seems liek you are the real winner great job .

 

Great big Congratulations to you! Just goes to show what a truly talented photographer you are. The guy w/the horse was probably standing in a corner watching all the commotion w/your fans and thinking "yeah, and all I got was a ribbon and $500". Kudos to you!!!!

 

Congratulations, Jim! Thanks for sharing this experience with us all. It has really been interesting from many angles. I hope your new acquaintance proves to be more beneficial than a 1st place ribbon and $.

Way to go!!

 

Congratulations

Congratulations, Jim. That is certainly wonderful news for you. I suspect that the news will spread even more from these few pleased clients. Way to go!

 

That really is excellent news. I am not surprised people wanted copies of the owl amd 'Simplicity.'
Bet very few people wanted the horse.
This Margot sounds an interesting character and you should do well out of this.
Well done and congratulations. Bob F.
