I would love to think that The Big Ugly Challenge might inspire non-self-portraiture artists to give dash photography a whirl, but also that it will incite artists already experienced in the genre (such as yourself), to continue to make amazing work for the rest of us to admire :) I'm so happy that you shared your compelling image with me for the challenge - THANK You!Big Uglyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112845895898966695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8033067393001603131.post-8584809545821406142013-06-17T04:07:46.577-07:002013-06-17T04:07:46.577-07:00@Penny - So COOL the entry that you wrote about pa...@Penny - So COOL the entry that you wrote about participating in the challenge, Thank You for detailing your experience, and for sharing the link! I personally love knowing what people go through for the sake of their art, and I think that your account of the way your self-portrait shoot went down, will be rather eye-opening to folks who've never dabbled in dash photography!

And I did just add the link to your 365 project - on the challenge results entry, I'm so glad that you suggested it!

I'm so bummed that you didn't have a chance to stage and submit a self-portrait of your own, Harper! ;( But like I mentioned to Ella in a comment above, although I doubt that I'll be doing another challenge here on the blog - I do plan on having regular calls for photography entries via my new gallery's website (onepoundgallery.com) beginning sometime soon after I have my grand opening! Winners will have their work exhibited both on the walls of the gallery, as well as on an online gallery - and will have the opportunity to make their exhibited prints available for purchase.

I was positively delighted with each subsequent entry, as they appeared one by one in my inbox!<br />I don't have plans to host another challenge here on The Big Ugly...howEVER! Once my gallery is up and running, I shall have monthly (or so) themed calls for photography submissions, that I will announce on the gallery's website (which is still under construction at this point so not much to see there yet), and via email (feel free to visit: onepoundgallery.com to join the mailing list at any time!)
