I’m a finalist! The UO Outdoor Program has a photography contest every year for which I managed to get my act together and submit a few entries. Although I’m pretty sure I sent in four, three of the photos made it into the top picks of their respective categories:

• Thanksgiving in Bend in Action/Adventure
• Illumination Rock in Landscapes
• Surfers at Sunset in People in the Outdoors

And I didn’t really notice this until today, but UO OP has uploaded all of the entries to Flickr. It’s very neat to see what I’ve been competing against. On top of that, I’m super honored to have been selected amongst some really good entries.

The winners will be unveiled at 1730 in the EMU Aperture Gallery on 29 January 2008. Might have to skip out on night skiing for this.
