Entry: Color Portrait:
Result: Honorable Mention
My take: I like this portrait a lot, in retrospect I shouldn't of cropped it to do an 8x10 print. I had this distinct feeling the smaller prints at the fair didn't uh "fair" so well.
Entry: Black and White portrait.
Result: Nothing
My Take: One of my all time favorite portraits I took, that looked great in black and white, and nothing go figure.
Entry: Color Landscape.
Result: Sixth Place Premium (whatever that is)
My Take: This image has one some other accolades and technically is a perfect picture I would say, it was printed on 8x12 full frame print and matted. I am shocked it didn't do better, but since it did well in other areas in other "competitions" i'm not to upset
Entry: Black and White landscape
Result: Fifth Place (my highest rating)
My Take: I am shocked, this was my last minute, "why the hell not" shot to submit, its technically "bad" as it should of used a graduated filter to make the sky match the ground in exposure better. I am shocked.
So there you have it, how I scored at the souther New Mexico state fair. It was all on a whim, so I am pretty happy with the results. Though I have to say, 12$ to get into the fair (more expensive than the main state fair in abq) is just insane.

So ends another day, though one where I supposedly am a year older, and a year wiser. I have to say for a b-day it was a damn busy one. I got a few images mounted that I entered in the fair, this was a huge hassle as I rarely print or mount my images. Though its sorta amazing seeing in physical form the images I have taken. I also learned today that one can really successfully fly a kite even in September. All in all it was a great day if not very tiring.

For no reason that I can discern, my ruby on rails warholit application stopped working with flickr based links. That would be fine had I mucked with the code that parses the URL or anything, but nope I haven't touched any of that since it was first determined to be working. This is annoying for that reason, I guess I have to now unload my app from online down to my local box somehow and start playing with it (as my logging events aren't working anymore either *Shrug*). High irritating to have code stop working for no reason. I thought perhaps the flickr API changed to render my flickr.rb gem obsolete, but that would be insane to change an API and break your clients around the world. grrrrr....
