The "SOMETHING PRETTY NEAT!" Story

It was an ordinary day. Just got finished voting for my photo. I assume I can do that. Well, I have entered another photographic contest. This one is sponsored by My Island Art which is an online store which sells art from and about many different islands in the Caribbean. The money from the sale of the art is used to help the I-Can Foundation to assist at-risk children from several Caribbean island nations. I recently announced that I had won a photo contest sponsored by SXM Travel Forum and someone sent me a comment telling me to check out the My Island Art photo contest. Because of the anonymous comment, I was able to get my photos entered a few days before it closed and was lucky enough to be one of the 6 finalists in the contest. The contest attracted exactly 100 photos from all over. The prize is a wooden jewelry box with the prize winning photo on the lid of the box. Pretty neat prize! Now, to get to the point .... I am giving you the website where you can vote and I am asking you to help me in the contest. Type in the following (http://blog.myislandart.com) and when the page opens, click on "IslandArt Blog". Once you open the site you will read about the contest and see the 6 final photos. Vote for your favorite, but keep me in mind as you vote. I must admit that the competition is amazing. I enjoy all of the photos. You have until midnight on December 23, 2011, EST to cast your vote. You can place your vote on that page or click the link and go to their Facebook page and give a thumbs-up to the photo of your choice. I have included the photos below for you to look at ahead of time. Thanks in advance for visiting the site and considering me for your vote. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
