SHERPET AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE...

I HAVE DECIDED TO GIVE SOMETHING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY THAT HAS GIVEN ME SO MUCH...

I AM GOING TO GIVE OUT THREE

SHERPET AWARDS WHEN I CAN

THESE WILL BE

SHERPET AWARDS OF EXCELLENCE TO IMAGES THAT HAVE MOVED OR TOUCHED MY HEART. THEY WILL BE FROM CHALLENGE ENTRIES ONLY, BUT MAYBE NOT WHEN THAT CHALLENGE IS ON OR OVER, BUT AT ANY TIME WHEN I CAN BE ONLINE AND REVIEWING THE CHALLENGE RESULTS, DUE TO MY HEALTH.

HERE ARE THE AWARDS I MADE UP FOR MY FIRST IN INAUGURAL SHERPET AWARDS

SHERPET BLUE -

THIS IS MY WAY OF THANKING YOU ALL FOR ALL, FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR ME, SINCE JOINING IN NOVEMBER 17TH 2005. I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH SOME LASTING FRIENDSHIPS AND GROWN AS A PHOTOGRAPHER IN THE TIME I WAS HERE AS A PARTICIPATING MEMBER ENTERING CHALLENGES. WITH THE SUPPORT OF YOU, THE MEMBERS, THE SITE COUNSELLORS AND MANAGEMENT THIS WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. WITH TWO TRIBUTES IN MY HONOUR AND THIS IS MY WAY OF THANKING THE DPC COMMUNITY FOR ALL THEY HAVE GIVEN ME...

IN THE STYLE OF SHERPET

FLOWERS FOR SHERPET
