Metropolitan Imageworks

I recently switched to a Blackberry and my usual a.m. habit is to wake up, roll over, grab my phone from my nightstand and check email and of course Facebook updates.  I was very excited to see the notification email from the International Society of Professional Wedding Photographers, ISPWP, that the contest results were available on the website. I clicked over to it on my phone and it was like molasses dripping off a spoon waiting for the images to load. I did make it though three categories and found two of my images that placed and then I headed to my home office to view them bigger (and quicker) on my laptop.

Ceremony Category, 11th Place

Movement & Motion Category, 7th Place

The International Society for Professional Wedding Photographers, ISPWP, just announced the results for the Summer 2009 Contest and I am pleased to announce that I placed in TWO categories! One of my images took 9th place in The Wedding Dress Category and another one of my images took 10th place in the Bridal Party Portrait Category.

I love waking up to emails in my inbox announcing the contest results are online and then scrolling through the winning images with baited breath and nervous anticipation. I’m not sure I can describe the high that washes over when you scroll onto one of your very own images and realize your visual imagery ranks with the incredible photographers who make the ISPWP an outstanding organization with unmatched talent and credibility.

And just for fun, here is a link to my blog post in June about my winning image in the Spring 2009 ISPWP contest.
