PPO Convention 2009 - Best Illustrative Division

Another great Professional Photographers of Oregon convention has come and gone. It was a fun and educational time as always despite this time missing some of it because of a miserable sinus infection. In the photography world today you have to take the time for continuing education seminars and conventions a couple times a year at minimum. The world changes and it's either jump on the moving train and enjoy the ride or stand and watch it fly by. Although sometimes it's tiring and you want to slow it down. Fortunately we enjoy the ride!

During the annual PPO convention we also have a print competition with many fine awards. I was fortunate enough to have the image "Hypnotize" accepted into the Court of Honor and picked as Judges Choice (this photo is below and was taken at Cape Kiwanda, Oregon). Additionally, I received the award of Best Aggregate Score Illustrative Division for all of my prints combined having the highest score in this area. A nice honor that I humbly accept. Below are all four prints that I submitted this year. Congrats to all the other photographers that won awards, many fine photos were present this year as usual!
