Default My San Mateo County Fair Winners

Just got back from the fair and a very nice surprise -- I had three photos awarded prizes at the San Mateo County Fair. They had 225 photographers enter this year. So I feel pretty good about taking 3 prizes. I won the usual ribbons and enough in cash prizes to recoup the cost of entering my photos in the competition. So I feel pretty good about it all.

"Ingrid" -- Color Photography Portrait -- First Prize

Ingrid 2 Natural 2 Neck Fix Bloch Removal 12x18

"Banana In A Vase" -- Color Photography Still Life -- Second Prize

Banana in vase

"My Baby Boy Benny" -- Color Photography Domestic Animals -- Third Prize

Unbelieveable images. I love them all, but the cat gets my vote.
