This will probably be my last [Brag] post of 2012, since these are all based on my photographs winning awards at the Berkeley Camera Club, or our parent N4C photography organization. Since I will be in Ecuador for the remainder of the year, I won’t be submitting any more images for competition this year.
But I have to brag one last time in 2012, after the annual BCC awards banquet last night. Since I am 6,000 miles away, I was not present, but I was told today that I had some annual winners.
To my complete surprise, I won the Travel Image of the Year (against all levels) for the following image:
“Two fish vendors share a friendly conversation at the Vinh Long Market in South Vietnam, Oct 18, 2011”
I also received a Gold Medal in Intermediate Journalism (and got bumped to Advanced category for 2013) for this image:
“The worst floods in 60 years turn many Cambodian roads to mush, through which even dirt bikes with a load of piglets has trouble getting through. Oct 13, 2011”
Additionally I won 1st place in Masters Pictorial with:
“Spilled Wine”
And finally, 1st place in Masters Creative with:
“Punching Through”
I hope you enjoyed seeing these as much as I enjoyed taking them. Now I have to concentrate on creating next year’s masterpieces! 🙂
