Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies ….
My Reserve Champion in the 8×10 color class.
The Monroe County Fair is in full swing, and there is something in it for the photographer in you. Approximately 140 images were entered in the Open Class competition, and that makes for a nice gallery. Images range from small to medium size, from color to black-and-white, from almost untouched to the most creative use of Photoshop. The judging is complete and there are ribbons galore.
Congratulations go out to all the winners. Amanda Fields submitted the overall Grand Champion, a black-and-white print, that earned her a nice $100 gift certificate from framemakers here in Bloomington. Overall, there is much to see and admire, so get on out there and take in a local photo show.
And while you are there stroll over to the 4-H building and take a look at the youngsters’ efforts in the photography classes. It is great to see so much interest in photography from our young people … and there are some very nice images to boot. Looking things over last night I would say the future is in some pretty capable hands. Take a look and tell me if you agree.
