15th December 2009 - I recently entered 8 images in the Open Landscape section of the World's Most Prestigious Online Photographic Competition, the 2009 International Aperture Awards. This competition is worldwide and is judged by a team of Internationally Acclaimed Professional Photographers from around the globe. Of the 8 images that I entered, 7 came away with awards including 6 Silvers! I also had more winning images in the top 50 of the Open Landscape category than any other photographer. I have put so much time and effort into this in the last few years, so to get such a high and consistent scoring rate for my work inspires me to bigger and better photographic goals in the future.
5th June 2010 - I've had my most successful Canon Australian Professional Photography Awards to date with another two Silvers to add to the collection. My panoramic image 'Canyon Country' (below) has been my most successful to date having collected three awards in different competitions throughout the year. My small portfolio of panoramic images captured in 'The Narrows' of Zion National Park on the 6th of November 2009 have all been very successful in competition and I just can't wait to shoot on location there again in mid-November 2010. Hopefully this time I won't run out of film !
My results in the APPA have exceeded all my expectations, and I'm now only half a point from receiving Associate honours within the Australian Institute of Professional Photography system. Given this is only my first year of full AIPP membership, I'm very proud to have come this far so quickly and the next personal goal I will be working towards is the prestigious 'Master of Photography' status and ultimately the 'Grand Master of Photography' accolade many years down the track.
