Art Star Phototographer/Rocker Night at The Sunset Tavern

Yes, I did win in the category of "Artist's Choice." I won THIRD out of four finalists because the first two weren't there anymore by the time prizes were awarded. Of course, Cal and Stacia, the kids running the contest, assured me that my picture was thier REAL favorite. But I honestly liked being third. I got up on stage and thanked my bizarre friends, who make all of my better photographs possible, and accepted the award on behalf of all third-placers, who are able to walk away with the prize because they showed up.

Here's to showing up!
