Hey everyone. You know how much I love and appreciate your support, don’t you? Each and every one of you, even if I don’t know who you are. Your continued allegiance to my blog, your comments and participation, make it all worthwhile.
Well, I need your help again. I’ve submitted 4 images to Artists Wanted : Exposure. Spread the word and vote for me. (Be honest in your rating, of course).
Thank you, thank you :)
I was so excited for this photo shoot! Tanya and Michelle are the winners of our Who Do You Love photo contest from February.
These girls are a blast to be with and are so cute! I wished we’d had all night to shoot. Plus, I loved the locations we found. In fact, as I was driving to meet them, I saw out of the corner of my eye all these yellow garage doors. Boy, was that place cool or what? I especially loved the bright yellow with their bold red and purple shirts.
And here’s a funny story for you. Turns out that Al is Michelle’s great uncle. She said that Al is really only 93…I’ll have to give him a hard time for lying about his age ;) What a small world!
Tanya is getting married in July and Michelle is attending grad school in Germany, so this was a perfect chance to get photos of these two.
P.S. This is Tanya’s car. It holds a special place in Michelle’s heart because to get out of the passenger side, she has to roll down the window and open it from outside ;)
To precede the announcement, I just have to say that this was seriously a super hard decision! I could feel the love that everyone had for the person they nominated. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who participated. I hope you participate in our future contests.
I have chosen Tanya, nominated by Michelle.
Michelle wrote a 3 page short story about her friendship with Tanya. It was hilarious and I loved reading it. I was able to catch a true glimpse of Tanya through her best friend’s eyes. The story was entertaining and endearing. I’d like to share a few snippets with you all (I hope that is ok with you Michelle and Tanya).
“When we get to the parking lot, she can’t remember where she parked. We search among the rows. Luckily, it’s not hard to find her car. It’s a tiny red truck that already had a Tasmanian devil on the tire flap.
I call Tanya a few hours later to ask her about weekend plans. She always seems to be driving when I call her. “What is he doing!? This guy just pulled in front of me! I swear I’m a magnet for lousy drivers!” I shake my head and smile as I picture Tanya driving. She may be one of those people who isn’t outgoing until you break into her shell, but she is one aggressive driver. She doesn’t realize that she tailgates and that the people who are supposedly cutting her off are really getting followed by someone who speeds up when they want to change lanes.
We talk about all the places we want to go to some day, all the food we like, all the books we want to read, and the boys we’ve dated or who we wish we were dating.”
I am excited for your upcoming photo shoot together!
I know you are all curious to know who the winner of the contest is. Well, to be honest, it’s so hard to decide! I’ve narrowed it down to 3 contestants – Amber and Trace, Mike and Chelsie, and Michelle and Tanya. So check back tonight or tomorrow and I’ll have a definite answer. Thanks again to everyone who participated!
