The strength of a woman can carry the weight of the world.

but winning is even better! I entered this in a contest a couple of weeks ago and just found out tonight that I won! I get to go on a trip to Yosemite National Park in January with three other amatuer photographers and four professionals. They’ll spend the days teaching us… I cannot wait. There is also a bunch of cool gear that is part of the prize.  I’m just in shock. I’m sure I’ll write more details later!

I entered this on a contest run by the people at TWIP called “Straight Lines”. I’ve really been enjoying their podcasts. This last week they interviewed Greg Downing who puts together panoramas done at the gigapixel level. They are just amazing. You can check them out here: xrez.com.
