Saint Louis Photographer's Showcase

After 14 years in business, I'm finally entering my first photography contest. Why? Because I learned a long time ago that being forced to think outside of your normal shooting style and subject matter is an excellent way to improve and challenge yourself.

This is my entry for the Saint Louis Photographer's Showcase this week under the category "Black and White". Results and images can be viewed each week by clicking here. I was asked to join at the last minute, and so my first week's submission was pretty poor. No worries, though. I am beating my head against the wall to see what new thinking I can produce, and win or lose, the contest will only improve me.

Thanks to my volunteer model, and willing friend, Tim. The only guy I know who can pull off bald and make it look great.
