The Washington County Fair Photo Contest

And speaking of fairs... for the past few years, well, it's been three to be exact, ever since we moved to the great state of RI, I have been entering pictures in the Washington County fair.

 You have to be an amateur to enter, and that is what I am, and this will probably be the closest I will Ever come to having my pictures in the lime light Ü... but not that that is important to me... I do it just for fun. 

I just love photography!

I can actually remember the first picture I ever took. I was seven years old using a brownie camera. It was a black and white snapshot of my cat on the lawn. I was fascinated!

That is when the seed was planted but it didn't begin to sprout until many years later when I was in highschool and I bought my first slr. And then my fascination turned into love!

But now, with digital photography and computer post processing that seed that was planted so long ago has become a tree with the sky as the limit! Seriously, how exciting is that! Ü

And not only that, I believe that I may have a budding seedling in my own son! Ü

One day, unbeknownst to me, Webster took my camera and took the picture below that we also entered in the fair in the Jr. Division and he won first place!

So proud of my Boy! Ü

The rest of these pictures are the ones that I entered listed in their respective catergories:
