In good company

One of the items on my bucket list is to have some sort of art in an art exhibit. When I heard the local zoo was having an exhibit and wanted entries, I thought I'd give it a try.

I'll admit it was very scary for me, and I didn't think I'd get in, but it was worth a try. As I expected, I did not get accepted into the show. I went to pick up my photos, and got a glimpse of some of the other rejected pieces. I felt better about my rejection upon seeing others' work. There was some really beautiful works of art that I thought were worthy of any show. I guess it shows that either the zoo got a lot of great entries, or more proof of how subjective art can be.

Here's the three photos I entered.
Iguana in St. Thomas


Beaver Dam in the High Uintas
