It’s been a long time since I’ve entered a photography competition. It’s something I did a lot when I was an emerging wedding photographer. I was the type that learned from photo competitions, mostly from my losses rather than my wins. But with shoe boxes full of blue ribbons and a Master of Photography from PPA I haven’t been competing much. I was so excited last year reintroducing film to my work that I wanted to see how it would do in competition. I am so happy to announce that I have a winning image with PDN’s Top Knots 2012. PDN (Photo District News) is the magazine for commercial and professional photographers. What an honor! I want to that Kathy Warden of Table Art for providing me with the beautiful Peony Place Cards to photograph!
