In August, 2008, this photo - Dancing In Bordeaux - won the weekly "Send us a snap" contest run by The Guardian newspaper in Britain. I won a Rough Guide for my efforts! Click here to see a collection of my photographs.

Thanks, Lane. I'm glad you like it. It's the first time in my life I've won something!

As we say in Dundalk - that's class! The light and the figures really work here!

Wanderlust - I'm glad you like it -I was so lucky with the light and the movement at the right time. There's another photo from this same place, in the new gallery I've put up - a closer shot of the kids playing in the mist.

Barbara - Thanks. Hehehe. I was so excited to win this - have never won anything in my life before, and I was so pleased how this shot turned out. :-)

Hey!

Came back to look at this photo again, I keep looking at every detail in wonder; it is perfect! God I love this shot!
I did go see the other shot, by the way, and I think this is the better of the two, but just barely!

You never won anything? Really? I am shocked. Perhaps you should enter more contests, because the talent and hard work are definitely there.

You know what it reminds me of?
