First of all, my good photography pals Brett Erickson, Liz McCue, and George Nobechi Bumstead all showed up in Lubbock. That alone would have made for an excellent weekend. But there’s more.

All of us had images in the High and Dry show at the International Cultural Center at Texas Tech, so it was fun to form our own little art mob to go to the opening reception.

And, then, much to my very great surprise, I found out that the juror, Miguel Gandert, had awarded third place to my image, Sad Trailer.

It was a very, very good day.
