Kim Ayres is the winner of our Ugly Mug Contest, not because he has one, but because he won the drawing.

Kim is an extraordinary fellow. His writing is honest and clear, and his photographic images touch my being. They are as honest and clear as his writing. Some months ago, I wrote this about photography:

“When I look at a photograph, I feel like I have a glimpse into how the photographer sees the world. That’s what I like about photographic images—it’s not the “prettiness” of a view—it’s the quality of the light, the slant of the sun, the place where the shadow meets the light.

And once in a while, I come across someone who sees the quiet spaces, the places where my heart stops to linger and to rest. A person who sees the extraordinary beauty in ordinary objects, and who appreciates the sacredness of it all.”

Thanks to everyone who entered. If you are so inclined, you can order your own mug here.  And, as always, feel free to leave me a comment, or a stone (o), to let me know that you’ve stopped by.
