blowing my own horn

you might know

 i am addicted 

to

 photography

 especially 

iphoneography

 i am also

 addicted

 to

 instagram

my photos

 both iPhone and Big camera

 have

 been

 'honored' 

by various groups

 as part

 of

 theme grids

 several times

 one of my edits 

was

 even part

 of the opening sequence

 at

 Rhonna

(rhdesign app)

 and

 a group called

 eye_catching_photos

featured

 one 

a 

under the canopy

 shot

all these things

 make me

 want to try harder

 be better

 last night

 i came up from the subway

 it was still light out 

so i snapped a photo to post on instagram

 i opened the app

 there was this red dot

on 

my profile page

i was selected

'midday splash featured artist'

 i stopped walking

 i stood

 on

 broadway 

grinning like a fool

 its a photo

 i took this past saturday

 in the dreary fog

 it wasn't a great photo

i played with it

 i turned it all grey

 highlighting

 the red barge in the background

 color splash

 there's a photo group for it

 there's an app for it

 this is the photo

 i am tickled

 to be

 acknowledged 

by
 my peers

especially
 since 

that

 was
my very first try at color splash

an auspicious beginning

 so thanks for letting me crow a bit
