BAMignite photo contest: And the winner is...
... A lovely person named Sonya Stockton!
No, I'm not sad I didn't win the BAMignite Photo Contest -- really! I'm happy my entry was along similar lines.
Know why I don't mind? The whole point of the paper cuts theme is here: the Nikki McClure exhibit opens today at the Bellevue Arts Museum!
I can see that exhibit today or tomorrow, and on Friday people at BAMignite will see my photo projected during the party. And when BAM posts the party pics, I'll see them on FB.
Are you going to BAMignite? The museum is really easy to find (yes, even if you're coming from Seattle), and parking is free (yes, I said that right, you in Seattle -- free parking). Tell me in the comments or on Facebook!

BAMignite Photo Contest: it's not too late
Have you entered the BAMignite Photo Contest yet? You still have a few hours left!
The contest celebrates elements of the Bellevue Arts Museum biennial exhibit "High Fiber Diet." I'm so proud of myself: I only waited until a day before the deadline to enter this and one other photo.
The deadline is tomorrow, so here are the details:
All the photos will be projected during the BAMignite art party next Friday, November 16th. Unfortunately, I won't be able to go, but I'm definitely looking forward to finding out who the five contest winners are -- especially, of course, the Paper Cuts theme winner.
It's free and it's fun. Let me know which photos you're entering!
