senior contest .runners-up.

While there are MANY favorite entries for the contest, here are two really quick favorites.

Dillon, you have an iTunes gift card to look forward to! By far, my personal favorite “least favorite” Senior pose. Unfortunately, I’m not sure if the women helping judge the contest found your favorite socks all too appealing. I think that’s what did you in? Maybe you should win a pack of socks instead of an iTunes gift card??

Also, a very pregnant Crystal Garcia sent me this to make me laugh. Which is yes, the goal of the contest.. cheap kicks for Anne. Thanks Crystal. As an honorable mention you get a framed copy of the photo following your entry! (Trust me, I would give this to NO ONE but you.)

My personal “favorite high five”, framed copy, for Crystal:

senior contest winner does impersonation of fish out of water

Brandon Shaffer
North Dakota (yes that’s far from Louisiana, but we’ll schedule it)
I believe that is Brandon’s “favorite Dance in his favorite hang out.”

Other reasons his entry stood out:
Brandon made a math joke. Oh my, the nerdiness of my judges. This WAS the most creative “found nine.”

Brandon says, “I found nine by taking infinity, finding the square root of it, finding the natural of e, factoring out the word ‘elephant’, taking the long journey through the ‘fif dimension’, the Greek symbol alpha, and taking the second derivative of all of it. you’ll see this formula published in scientific american soon, i believe.”

So many reasons to love this photo, Brandon’s least favorite “traditional” senior pose.. but oh, there’s so much more. And yes, it’s partially a favorite because I rarely, if ever, see snow in Louisiana.

There are so many more fun photos from him and other entries! I’ll post more with his session blog post. Thanks everyone for participating. And oh, hey what happened to all of the class of ‘09 girls!? I only had male seniors enter. Where are all the funny/creative/great senior girls!? Females, REPRESENT!

last day for contest entries
