And The Winner Is....
7

Earlier this year, I received an email from Fujifilm announcing their 2019 PrintLife Photo Sweepstakes. In the rare event that I might win one of the prizes, I selected and submitted three of my photos, the maximum allowed, and then pretty much forgot about it.

The great news: Yesterday I received an email from Fuji telling me that one of my photos was selected to be included in the Fujifilm 2019 PrintLife Photo Exhibition being held at Grand Central Terminal in New York City for four days later this month.

The not so great news: Fuji is not telling me which photo they selected for the exhibition but it will be there, along with the other 13,639 submissions that will also be on display. So all I have to do is travel to New York and find which one of my photos made the cut.

A surprise today: Tonight the mailman delivered an envelope from Fujifilm Printing in South Carolina containing an 8x8 inch print of each of my photos plus an envelope full of coupons. But still no mention of which photo they selected for the exhibition or if I won one of those prizes. Now I'm envisioning one of those 8x8 prints up on one of the half city block long, three story high, exhibition hall walls along with the other 13,639 winners.

All of these were 2x3 images cropped down to 1x1 images by Fujifilm.

The entrance to the Souk in Casablanca, Morocco. Taken in 2017 with a Fuji X100T.

The courtyard of a small hotel Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. Taken earlier this year with an X100F.

Another from 2017. The First Level Power Canal in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Taken with an X-T2 and Carl Zeiss Touit T* 1.8/32 lens.
