    What a compliment! :D

    This just really lifted my spirits last night.

    I went to Wal-Mart to get some of my photos printed. After running my order thru the machine I shopped a bit. Around 5-10 minutes later they called my name over the loudspeaker asking me to come to the photo center.

    They were going to ask my if the photos were professional (just in case I was getting copies of someone else's work) However, the girl who worked there remembered me and gave them to me.


    May be silly to the rest of you... Having you all call my photos professional, family/friends complimenting me on them is one thing. But, having an overall stranger telling me they look professional/good is another. It just was great to me.

    That's really cool Kay!

    Glad you took it positively though and that someone recognized you. I've had friends turned away because their pictures looked too professional.

    Guess you have to take crappy photos to have them printed up.

    That's a huge compliment! Wow! I had a picture refused from Dog Fancy once (of my RB boy, Bruno) because they wouldn't take "professional photos." It is the ultimate compliment when you're trying to make a difference (even if it's just in your own life) with your art. Good job!

    So, what, are we chopped liver, or something? Just kidding.

    That's huge. For someone to go out of their way like that does make a person feel all warm and tingly inside. Like Jaime said, now maybe you'll believe us!

    That's such a great compliment! We print ours at home so I've never had a stranger say things like that. But, we (my mom and I are a team ) were asked to be the official photographer for an event that included our Governer's wife. It was *very* exciting and the pictures were in the newspaper and local magazines!

    If you really love taking pictures I think you should go for it ... those pictures from Utah were absolutely gorgeous!

    That is a compliment.
    You might consider taking up photography in college.

    looks like we have went to the same wal-mart!

    just few months ago, I went there to have a 8x10 printed of crayola (the one you see below in my sigga) .. along with few other 4x6s of cats.

    when I came back, they asked me if these were from me with on their faces, I smiled & nodded. but until I saw the 8x10 was not what I expected for, crayola's forehead and paws were cropped really bad! as well as few others. so I asked them to shred them but the other woman just came in back from her break, "oh that's yours? I love them!"

    well I assume the man who was walking to the shredder told her I didn't want them anymore - she jumped a little, "oh! oh..can I have it.... the one of the dog? please???" (her hands was 'praying') - I thought why not, and she even wanted to have my signature on the back of photo.. how nice is that!

    well, I'm sure kay have believed some of you.. but hearing them soo many times, compared to one-time from a stranger.. is a wow! and kay, for you.
    rest and sleep softly sweet locke..
