Here is a story about how hard work pays off, and how you make your own luck. Antoine Bélanger-Leclerc took some good shots at Rally Defi, and I was impressed by a new photographer on the scene. We started talking and he got really excited, when he learned that there is a chance that one of his pics will make it on our poster. The picture I liked had amazing sunlight, but also some sun stains. Antoine put in a lot of hours into cleaning the image up, merely hoping that the picture will be chosen.
Our plan was to make a collage poster with 10-15 pictures from 2011 season. So a bunch of pictures were sent to our designer. I was pretty confident, that Antoine’s image will get used amongst 10 others. On the due date the designer sends me back the poster and a note that reads: “Sorry, the collage idea didn’t really work, so I made something very different, using only one picture. Hope you guys like it!” Can you imagine how surprised I was when the only picture that was chosen was Antoine’s?! What a coincidence. Some would say “luck”, some would say “work hard and it will come”.
You can take a look at the poster here and get a copy this Saturday at the Tall Pines Rally!
