I’ve found one of my dream contests as a photographer  and it’s still open (as of writing this post). It’s always exiting when you come across a contest that you think .. ooo I might be able to win this one. So when ever I get that feeling I enter and give it ago.

I’ve been following Jasmine Stars blog for a long LONG time now, I’m a lurker there as I’ve never actually left a comment! BUT. I’m inspired by her and I want to run a business that is like hers, but for the LGBT market .. ie. gay wedding photography! I’d be as happy as cupid with a target in sight! So when I read the blog and saw that’s she is doing a workshop in New Zealand I was jealous .. what about the Europe folks and specifically the UK?! *wibble wibble*

So I’m not going to worry about that, I’m going to preface this contest entry by saying ” If I WIN, I need a lotta help to get there by January 5th!” .. my practicle brain is going, no way, nuhuh you’ll never make it .. the event costs just under £400 which is up for grabs in this contest .. yet the flight, accommodations will easily be nearly £2000 *sigh*. If someone figures a cheaper way to get to Christchurch, New Zealand please let me know. My heart and dreams are going ‘buh, buh .. I wanna go!’.  So here is my self portrait and star entry to her competition and may some kind spirit somewhere cough up some shiny stuff to help me get there?!

Back me up folks, show me your support in the comments please.

Edit: Just a quick update to say that my photo was selected as an honorary mention and runner up :D

Ps. I’m hoping for a couple more clients to bulk up my portfolio showcase, so if you are a musician, actor or person wanting a FREE business portrait (limited time only) .. I’ve a couple of slots going spare still. Get in touch with me on my business facebook page :D
