This evening, I went to an art show opening at the Sheldon where one of my photographs was featured...in a slideshow...along with 150 others...
A friend even noticed my name on a plaque. Mmm, hmm.
Don't worry, I won't let it go to my head.
I hope you can read into my subtle (or not so subtle) self-deprecating humor, but I'm still beaming. This was a first for me.
Do you remember this post when I asked you to help me choose which photos I should submit to Capture St. Louis Photo contest hosted by the Sheldon Art Galleries and the St. Louis Beacon? And then this post where I announced which three photos I was submitting?
Well, I got word a few weeks ago that, though I hadn't been chosen as one of the 100 winners, my picture would be featured in a slideshow along with 150 other photographs.
And what a privilege! As Andy and I walked through the halls, I was so impressed with what I saw! Some people have such an eye for capturing the beauty all around them. I'm still not sure why my photo was chosen.
Truly, this is worth a few moments of your time this summer. Stop by the Sheldon during their open hours and see the beauty of St. Louis through someone else's eyes.
Not only have I never won anything...ever!...I have never been to the Sheldon, so this was a double adventure. Here are a few pictures from our evening.

This has meant a lot to me, more than I expected. Thanks so much to everyone who gave their feedback on the blog or on Facebook, or sent me a message with what pictures they thought I should submit. Thanks to Crystal for running around Soulard with me, snapping photos. Thanks to Andy for being excited for and proud of me.
Thank you, thank you all for loving me with your time and energy. Though, I'm definitely not a big deal, your love has meant a great deal to me. And I'm a better me because of it.
xoxo
We had so much fun, even this couldn't dampen our evening:
