Landscape Image in New Mexico

I love the saying "You must be present to win."
It has a Zen like undertone. And leads me to my story about 'Turquoise Trail Storm'



Storms like this one although frequent aren't always in my field of vision.
Many times they are obscured by telephone poles, buildings and trees. I had to be in the right place at the right time with camera and looking out the window. Luckily my friend who was driving pulled over and I took this shot a few years ago. I have always liked it and last week entered it into well... I'll let this e-mail tell the story:

You have been selected as one of the ten finalists for the 98.1 Radio Free Santa Fe Black and White Landscape Photography of New Mexico contest. Your photograph will be framed and exhibited at the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Education Annex this Friday June 6.

Online Voting will commence on this Friday June 6. Photos may be viewed at http://www.kbac.com/section/view_authent/?fnode=81. (Note: All voters will need to register for the site.) For non-digital folks, paper ballots will be available at the Education Annex located at 123 Grant Avenue. Voting is scheduled between June 6 to June 20.

What a great publicity opportunity. My work will be online with nine fellow photographers.

It will have a presence and this alone makes me feel like a winner.
