No Spectrum For Me

Awhile back I mentioned that I had sent 2 of my pictures to be considered for inclusion in the next Spectrum Art book. Well a few weeks ago they announced those who's work would be in the next issue, my name was not among them. Not a surprise at all, I knew it was a long shot but still disappointing. Having my work in such a publication would be validation of my abilities and would make me feel less like I was second rate. I will say after paying $20 per picture just to have them considered for Spectrum, it would have been nice if they could have at least sent me an email saying my work was NOT chosen! :(
