    Ooooh I won something. Most Creative category in the Pix.ie Streey Performer Fest. I'm very, very happy as I've never won anything in photography before.
    For a past time/part time interest, amature hobbiest type of snapper like me it really is boost of confidence.
    Big lesson for me in "taking part is a good idea".
    Think I'll submit the demos of my new album to EMI while I'm on a roll.

    It's funny you say that as just today I eventually got the shot I'd been waiting for for it. I usually draw my artwork but for this I had a certain shot in mind and think I got it 100%.
    Pretty good day! Daughter's 6th birthday and she's in Dublin with me at the moment, we worked together in getting the shot we'd been waiting on for months, a burst of lyrics for a tune I'd been struggling with and the Pix.ie thingymebobs. And the sun was mostly shining.
    Brilliant and thanks for the encouraging comments everyone!

    Oh another odd one was that as we were enjoying the sun in Stephan's Green a woman caught my attention. I realised that I'd saw her photo on here!? I noticed she was walking with a woman that was carrying a camera and put two and two together and actually got four. Usually I end up way off the mark. I asked her was she "such and such" a poster and indeed she was. Funny old day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,079 ✭✭✭xia


    Congrats! This sounds like a really good day. What did you win btw? Or is it "just" recognition?
    Oh. And good luck with EMI. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,601 ✭✭✭MidnightQueen


    Congratulations! Interesting pic. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,480 ✭✭✭projectmayhem


    Congrats. Well deserved for sure!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 812 ✭✭✭gary82


    Congrats! Had a look over your shots and you really make the effort to keep the quality up - so very well deserved! ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,268 ✭✭✭trooney


    Great shot. Great win. Well done!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,075 ✭✭✭dakar


    I hereby endorse the product/event/congratulations previously expressed in this thread.

    Thanks Xia...eh I don't know if you get anything for that category. Maybe just the bigger categories. I might get an email or something about that.

    She thought so too...

    Many thanks for saying "Hello". It was really kind of you to make the effort to introduce yourself, Humberklog. My family was delighted as well.

    A brilliant photo. Congratulations.

    Good to meet you too Anouilh. I, for some odd reason, thought it rude not to?!

    Incredibly well deserved and when Dragan has finished that crawl in your brain, I'm next :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 424 ✭✭Simplicius

    Congratulations Humberklog

    There is a few people on here who’s style really stands out, you don’t even have to look at the user name, and i think that it’s about time that you were picked up.
    You create great style in the majority of your photos and i give credit to your style - it’s really fresh and great to see that you stick to it and keep working with images. Great work and keep it up.

    We sent you an email to the email account you registered on Pixie with (i.e. ....@yahoo.co.uk) with details of the prize. We haven't heard back from you yet! Can you check that account or update your Pixie email address so that we can resend it.

    Cheers!

    Thanks Anthony. There was 4 cameras used. The Minolta for the action shots of the guy. In the background there are three buildings that don't belong in Merrion Sq. On the left there is a picture taken around '86 of the Fairview Strand cinema. This was taken with a Canon A1. Moving along then there is a recent picturemontage of Dolphins Barn flats which was taken with the Trip and then on the right side is a mid 1970's photo of the long gone Sheriff Street flats. This photo I'm told was taken with a Leica.


    Have to say thanks very much for all the messages of support. I really am bowled over by it.

    Congrads! I love the way each performer has his own square! Hope this is the 1st of many! Well done!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,259 ✭✭✭alb
