One of my photos was selected as a finalist for the Nature Conservancy's Annual Photo Contest. Now it is up to people to vote on winner, so I need YOUR help! Go to http://support.nature.org/site/PageServer?pagename=bestnature2008_ph6 Scroll Down and you will see my name (Shannon Switzer) next to my photo, then go to the bottom of the page and Click on VOTE NOW. It will take you to the voting page where you can select how many Stars each photo deserves! 5 stars being the best, which would be a good choice for mine :) But only if you feel its truly deserving of course! Thanks for taking the time to vote...the contest ends Feb 9th! Oh yeah!! ONE MORE THING--- Have a look at So Cal surf board shaper Sean Reilly's website: www.reillysurfboards.com I just got my new board and it is AMAZING...(pictures soon to follow!)
