You oughta be in pictures!

Candy sales for Camp Fire Kids begins this weekend. Normally, I really don't enjoy the whole selling candy thing, but this year something special has happened. A picture that I took of one of the kids in our group (Ciera Schmidt) was entered in a national contest, and was chosen to be on one of the boxes of candy that the kids will be selling. Aside from not being mentioned in any of the press coverage (let's face it, Ciera is a much cuter subject than the 30 something amateur photographer who took the picture), I'm pretty excited. I've only seen a picture of Ciera holding up the box of candy, but it feels pretty cool to have one of my pictures getting national exposure. I'd like to think it won't be my last!
