Went to a local annual show - you know the kind - cake decorating, scones, flowers dogs and chooks and a few sideshows etc - went into a little hall to look at the photography entries - and there in all its glory was a photo of MY mini. :shock:
It had obviously been taken one day when the mrs had it at her work, all unbeknowns to her, and then it pops up as an entrant in the show competition. Didn't win a prize though! :(
Quite a shock to be walking around only to see a pic of your own car hanging up - also flattering that somebody thought it worthy of a photo and entry in the comp. 8)

How cool is that!
did you take a pic of the pic? was it an arty sort of shot.
Did you ask for royalties?

Like an idiot I didn't take a pic of the pic. It was a bit arty with a shadow cast on the wall along side and taken from down low.
Mmmm, royalties, now there's a thought! :lol:

No, but I did get her name and know where she works, so will follow it up. Will try to get a copy.
You never know - one day the local show, next day the Pullitzer Prize (or whatever the photo prize thingy is). :lol:
