Competition Season: Part 2

I was not able to attend our annual banquet and award ceremony Saturday since I was privileged to spend the day with Rachel and Lee, documenting their wedding (see directly below). I came home to find out I had won not 1, but 2! first place awards in the year end judging competition. Whoot!

One of my favorite weddings of last year produced this image: Kim as she was getting ready at the Salem Cross Inne:

I have this printed in canvas 16×20 and it really shows all the shadows, details and quiet confidence of a beautiful bride.

The Traveller was awarded First Place in the Black and white category which included electronically projected images as well as prints. It was taken at Plimoth Plantation earlier this spring.

Usually a full moon brings weird things, but last Saturday was an exception. Yipee!

I was very pleasantly surprised to receive word that one of my favorite personal works was awarded 3rd place in the NECCC Spring Electronic Pictorial; 34 clubs entered and each could submit up to 4 images in the pictorial category. There were 9 images that placed. 2 tied for first with 29 points, and 7 tied for 3rd with 27.

This was posted previously, but it’s a real honor to be included in the top electronic photographs in the New England area.

All the winning enteries are here:
