For the last 20 years I have refrained from entering photography contests. I am not sure why, but it was just something I didn't do. I think the main reason was that I saw so many other photographer's images and thought that mine just would not hold up to that standard.
This year I decided to enter a couple of the largest photo competitions to see what would happen, and as it turns out, I am getting some nice recognition for my work. Earlier in the year, I was selected as one of the Sports Photographers of the Year and then this week I was notified that I took second place in the International Photography Awards.
Interestingly enough, it was the same image taken of a skateboarder at the Paris Summer Olympics that has garnered the most attention. I did have four other images take Honorable Mentions in this latest competition.
Looking at all the winners from these competitions makes me feel incredibly honored, as there are some incredible images capture by some really talented artists out there. But I am very happy to be included in this group.
