Kristina, Goddess of Cameras
You're in for a big surprise. Today, I'd like to take a small departure from my usually self-deprecating entries to brag. Yes, I know, it's weird because everyone knows moms don't brag, right? Call me unique (or weird if you're in a bitchy mood.) Yesterday, my daughter Kristina became one of the finalist in a photoblog award! She wields her digital camera with a Da-Vinci-esque (a word I created to sound smarter than I am) flair and she has an eye for aesthetics that's uncanny beyond belief. I urge you all to cast your vote (5 days left) at http://www.photobloggies.org. Look for her site http://www.eightyfour.net under finalist for abstract photography. You'll get an email sent to your address as soon as you vote. Be sure to click on the link they send to validate your vote! If you have a lazy streak, keep in mind that if she wins, she'll go on to become a famous photojournalist capable of putting her mom up in the finest nursing home this side of the trailer park. Just kidding. It pays zip but if you don't vote, don't come crying to me if a black and white of your ass appears on her site within the week.
