just has not been my week.

with all the things happening with my dad.. my week was already off to a lousy start.. and seems everthing I do and touch is just not working out.

I had a h2h doing a panorama.. well..of course I lost.. How can I compete with fabulous castles.. and stone bridges on rivers all in the same image.

Many people thought because I did only 4 or so feet that it must have not been difficult.. and actually easy.. of course they don't know that I redid the shoot 4 times.. and the fact that everything is so close.. moving just a tad put everything in a completely different perspective.

I also entered a few poems in the beginner spring contest.. they are freefalling as we speak.. I don't know why I persist trying to write .. I'm just not good at it.. that may be the reason why.. I don't like not being good at things. Sadly, I write like a 4 year old... argh..

To top things off... I really needed something to lift my spirits. When I saw there was an invisible contest that came along.. I was very happy. Last year I did some invisibles.. and didn't really read the rules.. and got dq'd because they were movie actresses and not musicians.

Then the contest appeared.. yay! this will be great.. I'll take the better of the two.. tweak it.. and make it even better and submit it.. then enjoy the thrill and angst of watching the leaderboard... It was also a great idea because with the mentoring program that we started in the photography section, I was especially busy for the last few days.. matching up mentors and mentees. I didn't have a lot of time to do a brand new invisible.. but since nobody had seen this one... I could enter it.

Well.. it was not to be .. before entering.. a recheck of the rules.. proves fatal to my image.. it has to be a movie scene... oh.. so I have to forget about that too.

I was so disappointed.. another of these might not come up for a year.. and then it may just be actresses from the 40's or 50's.. who knows.

seems all I've done here is whine this week.. but things have just not been going my way.
