Runner Up College Photography of the Year

This weekend was the Minnesota News Photographer Association's annual conference + Photographer of the Year 2008 judging. I was named runner up College Photographer of the Year. My friend Steve was given the top spot, and his work went on to dominate in the professional division. (and by dominate, I mean did quite well.)

I am happy that I got that title, but my favorite part of the competition was being able to hear photographers unbiasedly talking about my photos, and offering solutions of how I can improve.

In the college division, I also won second place and an honorable mention in the features category, first place and an honorable mention in the portrait category, and second place for my picture story. (scroll down to the college winners' list to checkout Minnesota Daily raking in the wins).
