NCC Annual Juried Exhibition 2009

I entered 6 images into this years NCC Juried Exhibition. Out of 100 + pictures only 23 were selected to be in a traveling exhibiton from our camera club. This exhibition will travel to many of the Clark County Librarys. This is the first time one of my images was selected. This is the image that was selected. I talked with the judges afterwards and got good feedback about the images that were not chosen. I am learning all the time. It was my goal to have one image make it and I did. 2009 is really looking great for me.

Professional Photographer???

Wooohooo, I had a meeting with the buyers for Red Rock Canyon Visitors Center Monday, January 5the 2009 and they are going to be carrying my photography Images in their Gift Store at the Visitors Center. So if you are ever at the Visitors Center and you see a picture that is signed by a D Petersen that would be me. You can say you knew me when. When what I don't know. Dennis says when I was more humble. I don't know if I was ever that humble to start with. I never dreamed that this would happen to me this soon after starting photography. Dennis what have you done? Thank you for buying me my camera a year ago for my birthday without you and your support this wouldn't be possible. There will be signed and matted pictures, signed note cards, magnets with my images and I will be working on getting postcards made. Thank you all for putting up with me I know how annoying I have been asking you about my pictures and asking your help in naming them. But it has all come to this I am a professional photographer.
