Congratulations! Great job!
I should be spending Christmas with Catherine’s parents. When would be the best time to visit the Washington Monument?
aw, thank you so much!
Re: I knew you when!
Aw, thanks so much, Jen! I remember when you took a picture of me at that first exhibit, and said someday I’ll make it big. Thanks for believing in me. 🙂 I miss you!
That one brings tears to my eyes, too. I was crying when I took it.
Thanks! It really is an honor to be included among all those great images.
Thanks! That’s one of my favorites, too.
The funny thing is that the judges said that the second photo looked like it was out of a romance novel. I was going to be a little offended, but they went on to explain, “That’s a good thing.” Um, ok.
Actually, no, I don’t get nearly as much business from it as I had hoped. Maybe a blue medallion next to my name will help.
Oooh I do hope so!
lol… Well I need something to aim for in the future. 🙂
I hope your wedding was wonderful. 🙂
I wish you did, too. 🙂
Actually I had nothing to do with her sitting down in the grass. That moment occurred immediately after their ceremony ended–they hurried around a corner for a private minute together in their first moments as husband and wife. She was so overwhelmed with emotion that she just collapsed into the grass and started crying. He squatted down next to her to comfort her. I stood far away, with a long lens and tears in my eyes.
That second one is georgous. Not too many brides (I’m guessing) would have been willing to sit down in the grass in their gown.
congratulations!! 🙂
I knew you when!
I knew the day would come when I would pull out my photos of your FIRST photo show and be proud to say “I knew her when”! I am so proud of you; your ability, your creativity, your poise, your verve, and your audacity to follow your dream! Kudos to you, Char!
Love you much,
Jen

I am not at all surprised that you won. Your photos are always amazing…that second picture is one of my all-time favorites.

Congratulations, Charlotte. I hope I can provide you with some First place photographs next year.

woot! Way to go, Char! Well deserverd … perhaps even a little ripped off. I think you’re the best. Though i am, admittedly, biased.
Congratulations! I loved that picture of Brett and Amanda. (I love the other picture, too, I just don’t remember seeing it before.)
