contestant

So, there's a food photography contest at the Pioneer Woman's site. I'm not aspiring to win, but I signed up, and am I ever glad! Because if you join the photo pool, you can see all the submissions.

A wise friend gave me a good piece of advice a couple of years ago about a peculiar community I'll be part of for the rest of my life. (yeah, peculiar communities are kinda a habit with me.) She said if you make a habit of thanking people and telling them when they do a good job, people are always glad to see you coming. So when I scoped out the photo submissions, I complimented the ones I liked. None of these folks know me from Adam's house cat, but who cares? Complimenting the photographers only takes a minute & made my viewing more pleasant.
