WPPI is one of the largest annual photography shows in the world, held in Las Vegas usually in March. Last week, while attending, along with 14,000 professional photographers from around the world I was honored with a 2nd place award in the 16×20 print competition for non-wedding photojournalism with the attached photo, titled “1st Chemo for Hollis”.
The award was bittersweet since Hollis is my 29 year old son who is fighting a very aggressive lymphoma cancer.
I was also honored with an Excellent award in the wedding-photojournalism print category, which was in contention for top 3 in its category.
It was a humbling honor to receive these award recognitions from my most talented peers. It was also very exhilarating to celebrate with several of my dear Colorado photography peers following the Awards Night presentation.
