Below is an announcement that I had sent out via email, facebook, lists and any way I could think of. Heck, I was excited and to have been in the top 30 in a national competition! I felt like I was campaigning for office. Well, today is the morning after and the competition has closed. There has not been an announcement yet as to who the top 10 entries are and I am on pins and needles! I figure I have a 33% chance here so all I can do is wait and hope. The top 10 photos will then be judged by Ron Howard and the winning photographer will go to N.Y. all expences paid and meet Ron Howard and also win some Canon Camera equipment.

So, all I can say now is my fingers are crossed and I will wait and see....

I have some very exciting news and I need your help. I entered a Photo contest sponsored by Canon Cameras and Ron Howard. There were thousands of entries. The idea of the contest is to help Ron Howard with his next film and inspire him with 8 different themes. The first 4 themes were whittled down to 30 entries per theme and ONE OF MY SHOTS MADE IT IN! It is a finalist in the theme "Time". Now they are opening the themes up to public vote. This is where you come in. I NEED YOUR VOTE PLEASE! Click the link below or copy and paste it into your browser and please vote for me.The Shot is called, "Mountain Morning Snow and Fog" and is a shot of Frazier Park, Ca.Voting deadline is Saturday June 11th 9pm. Pacific time.Thank you so much! Please feel free to share this with anyone you can think of it sure would be exciting to have a shot of Frazier Park be the winner of the National Contest!http://www.youtube.com/imagination?x=us_hausswf_21594
