Shooting Alpine photography contest
I am happy to announce that my photograph Balcony (Holland Hotel) was selected as a semifinalist in the annual Shooting Alpine competition.
If you are going to be in Alpine, Texas, this Friday and Saturday for the ARTWALK, you can see a photo slide show of the winners, finalists, semifinalists and other entries will be on display at GALERIA SIBLEY (103 W. Holland Ave). Otherwise, you can see it here.
PS – Thanks to my friend Mary Angel, who reminded me that I ought to enter!
