Awards and Accolades
Hoback and Papa, OUR STUFFED moose!
Excited to announce that one of my favorite photos has been selected in the Nature's Best Photography Contest as a Highly Honored Photo in the Animal Antics Category. I am honored to have this distinction. And especially with a photo of a moose, one of my favorite subjects. When I took this photo it was actually quite the shit-show. People everywhere. Moose everywhere. And I stopped to capture an unusual and special moment of Hoback trying to spar with our Jeep Grand Cherokee. And Papa, our stuffed moose is looking at the biggest and baddest moose through the windshield from the safety of the car. You don't need to go far. You don't need to have exotic subjects. But you can capture a common subject in a special situation.
LONDON has fallen, again!
For my 'Snowshoes' photograph! I was very excited that this photo was part of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year #59 People's Choice Award. Twenty five photographs were selected, in addtion to the 100 chosen for the main contest, from over 50,000 entries. How cool was it that my photo was one of the ones selected! This was the second year in a row that I have been in People's Choice!
This year Knut and I were able to attend the festivities in London. Two days of festivities to celebrate the photgraphers! I was quite nervous to attend this event, to be honest. The museum also merchandised my photo with items to include bookmarks, postcards, magents and even a stuffed bunny! How cool is that?
I did not win last year but perhaps I will have better luck this year! Fingers crossed!
Audubon Photography Awards Top 100
I entered the Audubon 2023 contest this year. It was the first time I have entered this contest. Although I do not photograph birds that much I felt the my penguin angel photo was worthy of entry. And it made the Top 100. Pretty impressive!
London Has Fallen...
It's A Good Hare Day!
For my 'Snowshoe Hare Stare' photograph!
I was very excited that this photo was part of the Wildlife Photographer of the Year #58 People's Choice Award. Twenty five photographs were selected, in addtion to the 100 chosen for the main contest, from over 35,000 entries. How cool was it that my photo was one of the ones selected!
It was an honor to see this photograph displayed at the National History Museum in London. And to be told it was one of the favorites in the museum retail store. How cool is that?
Also. I was excited to meet a lady that came to the museum specifically to purchase the Snowshoe Hare Stare photo. She was excited to meet me and even more excited when I autographed her four prints!
It was definited a good hare day!
