Just a Few Days Left…

What, four days left in 2011?

At the end of each year we go through every photo posted to this site and come up with the nominees for the Utah Photojournalism State Championships. The votes of your fellow members of the site will determine the champions.

Bottom line…
You’ve only got a few days left to post your best photos for consideration.

To see the winners from the past two years, click here.

Pictures of the Year … not about location

When I talk to many younger shooters I hear a lot about them wanting to travel to far off places or to war zones to make pictures that they feel “matter.” The truth about it is the most important stories are the ones you cover. Location and war zones mean nothing when it comes to making storytelling images. Your most important subjects are the ones in front of you no matter where you are.

I say this because in a year that included the Arab Spring, war in Libya and the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, I was honored to have an image of mine from an assignment in Montana to be included in the top 100 photos in the world for Reuters’ 2011 Pictures of the Year.

You can see it here.
