I'm a winner!
For many years I've dabbled in photography. When I was in high school and college, I took several photography classes, had a darkroom in my parents basement and had made up my mind that I wanted to be the next Ansel Adams. Many hours and free time went into my passion. Well, reality and life got in the way and after a while I sold off all my darkroom equipment and camera and didn't do much with it. Then the digital age struck and as I slowly started to get back into the swing of things. Then last year I purchased a digital SLR and I was in love with photography once again. So that's when my lovely wife prodded/suggested that I enter a couple of prints into the Tuscarawas County Fair. I balked at the idea at first, but she kept on me about it so I did. In the past, she had entered several charcoal drawings and for placed really well in those categories. Well, it appears that the picture on the left won first place in the B & W - SCENERY category for the fair. Wow! So tomorrow night we're going to take the young-in's down to the fair to check it out. I think I get like $3 for the first prize too which means we'll probably blow it on a fried candy bar at the fair. That's right. I said a fried candy bar. If you haven't had one...it's crack on a stick. Totally bad for you and the last thing on Earth I need...but is sooo good.

Congratulations! I'm always impressed by the 'eye' of photographers.
Congratulations Andy, nice picture!
At the New York State Fair, they have everything fried. My wife and I tried the fried snickers, but didn't really care for it. The fried Oreo's on the other hand, heaven on earth.
