Also awarded B&W image of the year

‘Sockets’ was my first attempt, ever, at taking an assigned subject (hand tools)
and applying my skills to go from a ‘creative’ thought to a finished print, ready to be judged.
I made my decision to give this competition thing a try after I saw the previous month’s entries
and said to myself “hey, I can do that”. My printer was limited to 8-1/2 x 11s and I wanted
bigger so I went down to my local Sam’s Club photo department and had a 12 x 16 print made.
I did my own matting and submitted my first ever entry. Lo and behold, it held its own in the competition.
Now I’m hooked!
