Photo Awesome

What awesome? Jason Awesome.

I just got a call from Gallery RFD in the art capital of Swainsboro, Georgia where I submitted some images for their portraiture show last week.

At least one picture of mine was accepted, this one…

They also wanted to let me know that it was chosen as…

Best in Show!

So that is pretty amazingly awesome. And I get $150. I think that’s the first time since high school that I’ve gotten any money for “art.”

I feel pretty good about myself right now, so please excuse the bragging.

I have to figure out how to tell my sister-in-law because I’m afraid it’s not a very flattering picture of her. But it’s Art so that’s okay, right? And I’ll explain the art-critical concept of the Object. I’m sure she’ll understand. :-D

Show opens November 10, nice of them to do it on my birthday!

    Well done Mr. Parker. Unflattering photos are perfectly acceptable as long as they are art… or if you don’t like the person.

    great job! I submitted to the show but didn’t get in but I’m glad at least one SCAD-atlantian did!
