Baseball photo featured in Pixcetera

This post is only about three months late but that's ok.  My baseball photo that won for best student advertising at FotoWeek DC 2009 is part of a featured gallery at Pixcetera.  If you haven't visited their site before now is your chance.  They have a great selection of galleries ranging from fashion to food to lifestyle:

And the winner is...

"America's Pastime" by me.  I spent the evening with my wife Grace at the DC FotoWeek awards ceremony where I was awarded best photo in the "Student Advertising" category.  They even gave me a certificate to make it official.  It was an honor to be mentioned along side some amazing photographers. 

DC Fotoweek answers to be revealed tomorrow

Tomorrow night is the awards ceremony for Fotoweek DC at the National Geographic Society Grosvenor Auditorium.  It is here that I will find out if my baseball photo wins the prize in the 'Student Advertising' category (I should start working on my "I'd like to thank the Academy" speech just in case.)  Win or lose, it's exciting to be a part of such a big photography event held locally in DC.  The Fotoweek DC organizers have made this event into a photographer's dream: there's the NightVisions all-night shooting party, the photo demo's by some of the top professionals in the field, the portfolio reviews, and the exhibits.  Everyone should attend something related to this event even if you're not in a photographer. 

FotoWeek DC 2009 Finalist!

FotoWeek DC is an annual photo festival that just started last year.  It consists of exhibitions, talks, and contests and attracts some of the top photographers in the industry.  Imagine my surprise when I received the following email this week:

Congratulations! We are pleased to inform you that you are a finalist in the FotoWeek DC Awards Competition. This means that your image will be exhibited in one of our  FotoWeek galleries in Georgetown  throughout the length of FotoWeek DC and you might be the first prize winner in the category you entered. You are also invited to the Awards Ceremony and Reception to be held at the National Geographic Society on November 5, 2009 where the winners will be announced and prizes will be awarded. 

I had submitted my baseball photo in to the 'student advertising' category and apparently someone really liked it:
