PPA's Contest

I switched blogs, but thought this was something fun to post in case you meander on through the old blog. And here’s the link to the new blog too – pick me!

A couple years back, Professional Photographers of America started an annual competition that allows members to submit a photo for the chance to get on the cover of the magazine. I think it is such a great idea for so many reasons and love seeing the results of the competition and what images were entered, why they were chosen, etc. As scary as submitting work to various competitions is, it actually is a great thing for photographers. You get incredible feedback that will help you improve your craft as well as the chance to win. There’s only one sure fire way to make sure you don’t succeed and that’s by not trying. How many times have I heard that? And let’s see, how long did it take me to actually practice that? Let’s just say a long time.

The rating doesn't effect the official judging, but I would love feedback, so please take a couple of seconds and rate it here! Plus you can win a Canon G11 (this is the very camera I use to capture Photo of the Week and other such randomness. He also goes by Bolt).

Here's the link and here's a look at the image I entered. Thanks for rating!
