My 0.15 seconds of fame

When I was in Nantucket this summer, I ran across a photo contest that was sponsored by the local island newspaper. Although I don't claim to be a great photographer (my sister was blessed with those genes), I decided I'd give it a try. Not that it was that hard, as Nantucket is such a charming island and everything on it is a photo op.

Anyway, I submitted three photos. None of them won. (Damn...I could have bought another pair of jeans. At Target). But one of my photos did get featured on the newspaper's website. So, I'm famous! Or at least I would be, if they have spelled my last name correctly. But I can't be too greedy.

So check it out. I call it "Windmill Basking in the Sun."

Laura,

Nice pic! Apparently, you're not the only person who thought that windmill would make a nice photo; you're the person that chose the better angle! What a beautiful photo!! :)

Sorry I missed you while you were in town!
