811 taken by a Pro

This week I am planning to enter my studio in a "beauty contest." The photos below were taken by a professional photographer in May 2008. We renovated the apartment in the summer of 2007. Since then, our art collection has grown and the room seems more full now with dramatic black and white photographs (channeling Henri Bresson!) of the circus (do I here Zampano and Gilsomena?) taken by Mark contrasting with the bright and colorful paintings of landscapes and women and men who work with nature.

Should I enter it now or should I wait until 2011?
