The "photography" of the gff

This will set the scene for how I felt about the photography exhibit at the gff this year. This photograph, of a man looking like he's pooping on a lawn mower while reading the paper is an award-winning picture. I do not have any effing clue why. Love those crocs though. ;)
This is a Starbucks cup that has seen some better days. Its not in focus and its boring as hell to look at. Hell, submit it to the gff! They'll love it!
This next photograph illustrates my next point quite nicely. Take a picture of anything in Frederick with a disposable camera/camera phone/use a crayon and you'll get a ribbon.
Within the Christmas section, I found this gem. It is a ornament hanging at the bottom of the Christmas tree. And yes, it ALSO has a ribbon. What about this picture is interesting to look at? I wouldn't even spend more than 2 seconds eyeing up this scene, let alone grab my camera and start clicking. Rude.

Life-rings? CFL. Ribbon. Cfl.
Blue ribbon for the sno-cone syrup containers? Oh comeon. give me a break.
Who in Frederick knows David Hasselhoff???????
Alison, I know you will freakin love this one. Friends forever bracelets around a candle. Hi, sixth-grade-batmitva called, they want their party favor back. The wax hand and colored sand in a bottle miss you :)
This kid. This kid. What do I say about this kid? He's eating a philly cheesesteak from the authentic place, genos. That still doesn't make it like it even just a little bit. Oh, wait I lied! He's doing the itbS so I kind of love it. :-D RIBBON-WORTHY! WIN!
Now, this. This is rude. M1, lets do this on the way to our next trip. Kelly, we will set up a tripod for this scene next time. We'll do a photo shoot with our millions of pairs of sunglasses from team o vacay on everyone of the beanie babies we still have in mom's marykay room at the house. pause. naht.
This picture : me
"it's 5 o'clock somewhere" : Lauren

if you also took an SAT prep class, you'll be able to figure out the connection here.
WHAT IS HE DOING? Is that his new mini-cooper? Perfect.
He looks so creepy.
This is why I'm going to the allergy dr M1 just went to in a few weeks. I hate cats. This picture is so stupid. Is it a staples advertisement?
Look closely, can you see the praying mantis on the confectioners sugar box? Still don't get it? Me neither. It makes me laugh though that it is in gff.
Jumping pictures. Just like team olson vacay. Next year, they are going in. mark my words.
She got TWO awards for this crap!?!?! FSAD.

Glamor shots 2009. Say no more. Crimp your hair and meet me at the Cherry Blossom festival in April in DC everyone. We have some work to do.
Zoe is also going in the gff next year. f this dog and his empty look.

Alison, you hate deer. So this is for you. How rude.Also, award-winning black and white photography. Looks sort of like a neutrogena ad. Or a Dr. Olson ad. hehehe.
And just so you know, this is a blue-ribbon winning (sort of like our elementary school) photograph of a stuffed dalmatian in front of a dry erase board picture of a dalmatian. POOL PARTIES ARE BACK!
Lastly, the cliche fishing pic. FHA.

This is what we are wearing to the gff next year.

This is what we wore this year. Let's just say we didn't fit in.


Does this little boy have a stuffed whale in his pocket or is he excited to see M1?
Oh, yeah, and we are all getting these posters next year to decorate our homes. I actually bought this one b/c I thought it turned out better than the one of Lauren and I. itbS?
