Is this for real?

The other day Brian was reading out loud what I thought was junk mail when I let out a big yelp. I kept repeating, "ARE YOU SERIOUS??" He then showed me a letter telling me that I was advancing to the semi-finals of a photo contest I'd entered at picture.com. (a different contest from the Hp one that I did a post about) I still didn't believe it. In fact to this day I don't know how legit this whole thing is. They want to publish my photograph in a book with other finalists. I have been working on an artist's profile that will also be published and thanks to Jennifer and her editing savy, I won't make a fool of myself with my poor grammar and spelling. There's more.....today I got an email from picture.com requesting another photograph of mine so they can publish it in The Best Photos and Photographers of 2007. Come on! Really?
