Spiel Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 I thought I'd share my daughter Madison's (18 years old) good fortune in the photography department. She is an avid photographer and has spent a good deal of her own money in pursuit of her passion. She has been promoting herself for hire and has done well in that regard earning extra money for her post high school education. Recently she came across a contest being run by the Hamilton Port Authority and submitted a few pictures she had taken on one of her many walk abouts. My understanding was 15 public entries would be selected for the contest to be added to a public display in the Hamilton Art Gallery celebrating 100 years in business. Well God bless her efforts, she had one of her submissions selected and it was also used in promotional pictures for the event. I realize it's not a northern sunset or a lovely wildlife photo but it is what the HPA was looking for as it captures in part what they're about. I'm obviously quite proud of her so I'm sharing the picture(s) here.
Ralph Field Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Congratulations! I hope the show goes over well.
Dave Bailey Posted July 30, 2012 Report Posted July 30, 2012 Looks like Madison has a good future ahead of her!

solopaddler Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 What you never said anything? Just saw this now, congrat's to Madison, that's fantastic!
woodenboater Posted August 15, 2012 Report Posted August 15, 2012 Excellent ! That is some great exposure ( ha ha) for your daughter and will come in very handy down the road. btw, tell Madison I said Film Rocks (!) and if she bulk loads, I might have some film for her
Spiel Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Posted August 30, 2012 btw, tell Madison I said Film Rocks (!) and if she bulk loads, I might have some film for her I'll have to ask her about that WB as I have no idea. Also thanks again all, I'll show this thread to her (again) when she gets back from camping. I've no doubt she'll be pleased with the all the approvals.
Roy Posted August 31, 2012 Report Posted August 31, 2012 Wow! I just went through some of Madison's work on her blog. Fantastic stuff. And I might add, a great looking family you have there Chris! It's also really refreshing to read/hear of/ feel the complicity between sisters.
