So I was looking myself up online - I do that because I am worried about scammers....  And I decided to look at the exhibit of travel photography that I was in last June.  I was on the website and noticed the Juror's Statement.  I never really looked at it....  June is such a crazy time of year for a teacher.  Well...

The Juror is a photo editor at National Geographic!  Sometimes I get real down on myself for being too exhausted during the school year to do much art.  That was like a shot in the arm.  I am so excited now.  I feel like I do have a chance to get more work out there.  I just need the energy.  Everyone tells me it is ok to take time over this vacation to do nothing.  However, to me, it is not ok.  This is time I could be spending submitting work, doing more work, looking up potential venues.

Oh, and there was a book put together with Blurb.  It included all work selected for the gallery exhibit as well as the online exhibit (mine).  So I ordered it.  Now I will have two books with my photography in them.  And I am going to get to work on a submission for the Hungarian Multicultural Center (Dallas) book arts exhibit in Budapest.  If I can get in that, I will be so happy.  That would make two exhibits with them.

Motivation?  Seeing a cool juror picked your stuff.  Wow.
