A while back I wrote (here) about entering a photo contest with photos from my Tanzania trip. Guess what? I tied for 1st place!
There were 244 entries and the sorted them into three categories: people, places and animals. 123 of the entries were in the people category. The rest were pretty evenly split between the other two. It was pretty cool to find out that I won. 
(I cropped out the head in the lower right corner for the contest.)

Congratulations…it is a good picture. Pictures with people are the best. So, what’s the prize? Another trip? A camera? Your picture on a wall?

There was a small cash prize. The photo will be in the traveling display that will go to churches in the area.
