Brainstorming for an Active Rain Contest: Book Smart....

By
Real Estate Agent with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties 01238708

This Contest Idea was inspired by two well respected Active Rain Members   Barbara Todaro   &   Patricia Feager 

They commented on one of my Speechless  Sunday Posts. Just to refresh everyone’s memory, I took the photo at a private Art Show, that one of my clients was holding at the Chateau Marmont  on the Sunset Strip. This is the place where the who is who of Hollywood love to hide for a night or two, but love to be seen having breakfast or lunch in the various garden eateries, but I am digressing, also this is where Diane saw quite a few celebrities in our early days of living in Los Angeles.

My goal and intent were to write more about the Exhibit, which caused a great deal of interest, but what my two Active Rain Friends suggested was that we should create a “Fun Contest” not as always just about Real Estate, Localism Post Contest etc. you know, but just to have fun with. Let the inspiration take you were ever....

www.endrebarath.com

So, with that said here is the Picture and have a party run with it in whatever direction you want to go with it. May I suggest 750 points to make it worth your while to write this post, while you are having fun. Once all the posts have been compiled, the top three post that get the most comments, (response from the author do not count) should get another 500, 750 & 1,000 points respectively. (also spam comments do not count either) One other requirement is that you have to use this picture as at least one illustration photo!

The Title of the picture is:   BOOK SMART let me know your thoughts😊))

Endre Barath, Jr. - Awe, thanks for the mention along with Barbara Todaro. It would be a fun contest. I remember when photography and the arts made great contests here on Active Rain. It was a smash hit. Those were the days when Dick GreenbergSharon Tara  and Roger Mucci made living in the Rain lots of fun  on AR!
