The competition is held annually by a local camera club of which I am a member.
There is no prize money and no national fame. The club only has about 100 members and nobody beyond that club even knows who I am or gives a shit about the photos I take.
However this did not alter the fact that the journey was rewarding and the outcome extremely satisfying when I won after trying unsuccessfully for 3 straight years.
Happiness is not about fame and fortune. It is best served in small but regular doses amongst peers, family and friends.
My new goal is to win at National level at the NZ inter club competition. It may never happen but the journey is half the fun. It motivates me to plan my week and gives me a reason to wake up every morning.
When I lose interest in photography I'll find some new interest and the process will start over.
Footnote : In 1997 I had a brainwave. I would start a website about sex in Singapore. My goal was to make it the largest and most successful sex HUB! sammyboyforum was the end result. At its height it gave me great satisfaction to see this place buzzing with activity and I was always thinking of ways to make things better. Sadly the government is hell bent on destroying what they consider to be a blot on the sinkie landscape. Nowadays it is a chore just to keep it going against the odds. That is why I have developed new interests and set new goals.
