anxiously awaiting
I went to bed about midnight only to wake up 5 hrs later. I can't sleep worth a darn because I am anxiously awaiting to start my trip to Charlotte today. I leave a little after 3. I will unfortunately miss the festivities at KC Mulligans, but the guys understand and fully support me. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICK!!! > KISS < Don't worry, Denice will be there to represent the Boobie Groupies, even sporting my shirt I made!
For those who don't know why I am going to Charlotte, here ya go...
I am receiving an award for some photography I did a while back. I had initially entered a picture for Comcast's Picture Of The Day just so I could say "Hey, that's my pic on the screen", but soon it was picked up by Picture.Com and entered into a contest for a book the Library of Congress was putting out. I won a spot in that. They asked that I send in ANOTHER picture to showcase at the awards ceremony, that I had to miss due to some bad stuff going on here at home. THAT picture was picked up by National Geographic and now I am going to be honored by 2 of NAT. GEO's top photographers. According to the representative with N.G. my pictures will be featured in an upcoming edition of the magazine. I am in absolute disbelief as I just took these pictures for fun, not profit. I am especially excited to meet the man who took one of my favorite NG photos. I have even painted this picture when I was younger. Who thought a picture from 1985 would result in this?!
