The Tulsa Garden Society had their annual amature photo contest last month. Dillon saw the article in the paper and really wanted to enter, so we did.
All of the divisions had stiff competition and there were 700 entries overall. The winning photograph in the general garden division was this magnificent flower. While my entries were good, so was everyone elses. I learned a lot about style, shutter speed, effects, placement and whatnot.
Dillon’s entries did really well in the under 18 catagory and he received an Honorable Mention for his shot of a Dogwood tree in bloom. Way to go kiddo.

Thanks Diane!
He wants to be an artist. And what was so cool about this contest is he bugged me every single day until the entry was turned in. He really wanted this, went for it with passion. That was so nice to see.
He entered three in all – I told him I’d help him find other contests to enter. The more he does, the better his chances will be for coolge. Art is a competitive field and he’s good so I hope he sticks with it.
