I had driven past this rundown motel so many times on the way to my parent's place and it always made me laugh how the sign says "Air Conditioned" next to a motel with no roof.
So one day I decided to pull off the road and take a picture of it. I did this one in black and white since it looks "old"....I thought the photo should look old too. I cropped off the top half of the picture since it was mostly sky and was just extraneous to the photo.

No, what strikes me is the juxtaposition of "air conditioning" against a winter sky. Without a soul around. That's why it's different and artistic.

And of course.......your typical "flower picture" that almost everyone takes a picture of when they are first learning.

That's true....maybe that's one of the reasons that picture appeals to me. Sometimes....I just "see" things that I think would make a good photo without really knowing "why." Does that make a bit of sense?
I take a lot of pictures of strange shapes because they appeal to me. I notice the way different shapes and objects play off of each other. (like in the chicken picture) I actually have a picture of the inside of the roof of my parent's barn because it looked neat to me with all the beams going in different directions.
Here's another example of a "shapes" picture that I took the same day that I took the chicken picture. This is the fence going through a dried creek bed. The fence was built at an angle I guess so the cows couldn't escape under the fence. Anyway.....I saw it and thought it looked neat.

An in field perspective. this is misleading, as, technically, true film does not have any pixels and is similar to what we in the field call "vector" images. Film is infinately rescaleable, and will always have crisper edges than digital images simply by course of processing.
This however is VERY true. this is one of the benefits of digital
Another downside to digital, though, is that it does not process light in the same way as a slr, and you will get less of the starburst effect that is sometimes desireable. One of my wedding pictures is a good example, however, I don't at the moment have it with me.
The canon rebels are also quite nice. As a note, If you get a canon, you can get the digital and later get the film one if you decide it's important to you to have both, or vice-versa- most models can exchange lenses between the same body style, which is not true of some other brands.
Sorry, I took umptymillion photography classes on lighting and such- you caught me after a cup of coffee, lol.
I see your Day lily and raise you one kitty.

I think its wonderful that the site Admin is reconizing your talent, like it should be! Your pictures are beautiful, and amazing. Ask anyone, I'm sure they'll say the same. We have all been deeply moved by your photos, I'm sure the Admin was too. I think the other members should be intimated by you!
Robin, I have to say Congrats! What an honour but a definitly well deserved one!
To answer the original question...honoured! Absolutely. But, I have to say, not without good reason...you do lovely work...it is not the work of a beginner. Formal training will help you maximize your innate talent, but ya gotta have the talent first...and you do...in spades.
Congratulations on the recognition!!
