Vote For Your Favorite Photographer - ME!!

Hello, Brian here dear readers of the The Chronicles Of The Team Schiele World Headquarters, I thought I'd take a moment for a shameless plug for your favorite photographer. Me! ;-)

I recently submitted four photographs to a rather prestigious photography competition where they have two main prizes that I am eligible for, one of which you can help me with.

The first one, "The Grand Prize"includes a massive scale photo show on buildings in the top New York City Art Districts: Chelsea, Dumbo and Williamsburg. An Opening Event will be hosted at the Leo Kesting Gallery in Manhattan on August 9th. They will receive: $2,008 cash, a full-press promotional campaign and a feature in their upcoming publication, The Annual.

Talk about a HUGE prize!

The second prize is where you come in, they are also doing a "People's Choice" prize of a $500 grant and a feature in The Annual.

You're probably thinking how you can vote right?

By visting the portfolio I have set up at the at the galley's website, HERE, you can casat your vote. I don't know how they are voting and all that, but make sure and give me(Your Favorite Photographer) a five star rating.

I have submitted a portfolio of four photographs, fromthe "Inflatable Characters" project I have been working on for the past couple of years.

You can see more of my photography at my website, http://www.mtbbrian.com/

Ian's Comming!

Jumping in

So I decided we should jump on the blogging band wagon. This is what happens when I have a sick day. Apparently there is flue going around.

After all, we need a place to post all the exciting happenings at Team Schiele World Headquarters. I once read that only 3 percent of the population actually read blogs, but some where in the 40 percent range writes them.

I hope we can at least use this to post whats interesting to us.

At the moment whats interesting to me is our yard. We have been overcome with weeds this spring and my battle to subdue them is progressing in inches and hours. That's I make about an inch of progress for every hour I spend. At least it feels good to be outside.

Just a side note- I am following my standard OP and am currently printing off photos that need to be framed, ordering mothers day gifts, looking for a recipe, playing spider solitaire watching TV, and creating a blog. I just ran outside in the snow (Ugh! its May Day!) to take some pics to add, but I need to finish all the stuff in photoshop as I am getting confused.

This is our new fountain in the square foot garden. It worked great until we played with the cord. Now it is a project on the list. We will be adding 2 more boxes on what is the far side of the fountain in this photo. Brian wants an entire box of corn! All the green is weeds!

From the North

From the west

This is a baby elderberry, it will get about 6 foot tall and wide. This is an 8 foot circle.

I planted these strawberry's on Monday! they will eventually spread out all over. The big pine tree keeps throwing pine cones at them. They will be happier once we get some nice straw mulch down.
