The Final

Journal Entry: Sat Feb 16, 2008, 5:45 PM
well now that the final decisions of the NIPA: Northern Ireland Photographic Association sports photography round of which i spoke of in the last journal have been made. i decided to upload the four piece of mine that made through the first round and into the final

sadly my pieces were not marked high enough to be placed in any of the spots. i must admit i expected as much, hell i was in shock when they got through round one.

i didn't get to go to the judging due to a conflicting schedule(i.e. i couldn't get the night off) but have heard a mixed bag of comments from people who did, about what was said about the work.

though the only one that seems to stick out in my mind was a someone at the event refused to comment on them as when they found out 3 of the pieces were from a wwe event, they said that it wasn't sport and shouldn't be allowed to be entered

gotta love the art world huh :lol: ;)

They wouldn't be 'Fine Artists' if they weren't pretentious pricks. It's just how it goes, sometimes. I make comics, so I'm used to that sort of off-handed derision from narrow minded egotists. :shrug:

You're still tops in my book, UE! :w00t:

thanks man, you know i also try and draw comic based work as well so I'm no stranger to the "real artists" looking down at me.

the art part is not answering them back

I hear you. It's an argument you'll never win, so best to just walk away. As the song says, don't let the bastards grind you down.
