Submit, even if it's last minute!

In typical John fashion, I was sent the Is It Possible to Make a Photograph of New Jersey Regardless of Where You Are in the World contest link on the afternoon of the deadline day. After wracking my brain for an hour or so, I went out to have some lunch and remembered a photo I took of a bench in Pueblo, Colorado that I thought might fit the bill for the show. Rushing home, I submitted the image and later reflected that at least I'd taken advantage of the opportunity and let it go at that.

I got my acceptance last night for the show. Sweet! I was blown away, my first group show had nothing to do with the project I was putting all my effort into. As they say, leave no stone unturned and submit up until the deadline.
