Our photos are on display

While we were in Collie with friends a few days ago, we walked past the office of the Member (political) for the region. He is retiring this year but has been a wonderful ambassador and spokesperson for his region. He is a ‘blokes’ bloke’ and enjoys a beer and a barbecue like many of his constituents. He has also had a conviction for drink-driving and for catching undersize marron (freshwater crayfish) but these misdemeanours have only endeared him to most of the public, and made him seem more human. There was a display in the window of his office showcasing the activities and achievements of HorsePower, an organisation which used to be known as ‘Riding for the Disabled’. On closer inspection, we discovered the four photos shown in the window are ones we took at a special day the group ran. It was quite a thrill to see the photos with the name of the website in small print in one corner.

How cool! Did you stop by and tell him, "We took those photos!"?

We know him slightly but he was out. Two of his staff left the office as we were peering in the window and they said he was showing someone around. But we told them about 'our' photos - as you might expect.

That is neat. My ex once took a highway picture in the mountains that they posted in a photography shop. He was pretty happy about that too!

You can't help being happy about it. It's nice to think you've created something good enough to be displayed. :)

@JudyEv You're welcome. With that colorful display, I'm not sure I would have noticed the photos when I walked past it.

That’s awesome! We felt the same seeing our invitations displayed in a party planner’s store and our new kitchen photos display at our contractor’s showroom.
