Clever Headline About Judging a Diorama Contest

By |

Had a busy little Saturday. Drove about six hours round trip to attend the 100th birthday party for my dad’s amazingly active Aunt Bee. Came home and picked up the family for Diorama-O-Rama, where I was chosen to be one of the judges. If you want to know how the former went, you’re probably related to me and can e-mail me if you like. For the latter, let’s jump.

Diorama-O-Rama was a fundraiser/silent auction for Justin Sullivan, displaced from Oak Cliff to Bethesda, Maryland, in his battle to beat cancer. Putting on the shindig were the lovely and talented Holly Jefferson, Tish Brewer, Jennifer Dunn, and Shannon Driscoll Phillips, who hosted. Of the dozen judges, I was clearly the least qualified.

You can see good recaps of who and what was there here and here. There were some truly amazing dioramas on display, especially this one, a wooden camera with a tiny photographer inside that lit up.

I’ll let the Flickr sites and the Diorama-O-Rama blog do the rest of the talking. I’m still kind of worn out.
