Contest Finalist

OH my gosh!  I submitted this photo to the American Photographic Artists for a contest called NAKED and my photo is a finalist!  There are no winners, just finalists.  It will be hung in the Subtext Gallery in San Diego for a show on September 15th, 2011 and will be auctioned off to benefit AjA - Youth + Photography Transformation.  I'll be hanging with the big wigs... Not me, just my picture:) This is a lesson for me, as a creative person who's work is personal, it's hard to put yourself out there.  Beauty, creativity, art - it's all so subjective.  I'm constantly fighting myself to put my work out there in the world more, but it's sooo scary.  It's not that I'm hiding under a rock here, but this has given me a little dose of confidence to take another step.  World, here I come!
