I won my first contest

Postby dooda on Tue May 30, 2006 12:28 pm

Check it out. I won this contest and it's the first contest I ever entered.

http://hereshow.ca/index.php?cmd=pastwinners

The prize was pretty good, so I entered a picture that I thought had a chance and seemed fairly popular.
The fellow called it Dali-esque. I hadn't thought of that before. COuld it be that I have a Dali-esque style? I'm so intrigued and slightly large headed right now.

I'll go out and lose the next contest so that I can come back down to earth. The other grand prize winner has quite the shot as well.

Congrat's. That's got to feel pretty good I'd imagine. :D

Edit: I just saw the page (Dial up :cry:) and your winning photo. I remebered seeing it on your gallery a few months ago and thinking at the time "That Rock's". Great image Dave well done!

How many kids? I don't have any kids.

Why do I feel stupid now? This must be something lost in translation. That's Canadian for "heh, I'm a little slow, eh"

Thanks for all of the comments. I'm sure I posted that photo here at some point. Maybe?
