Yesterday was the most amazing day in my photography life.

Currently the PhotoPlus Expo is on at the Javitz Center in New York City. The Palm Springs Photo Festival runs a series of portfolio reviews. This year for the first time they had a day for beginning professionals. I had 5 reviews with a variety of people in the business with many good comments and suggestions. I'll be reviewing my notes and see which of those might make sense for me.

In the evening I attended the Maine Media Workshops/B&H party. As part of this they announced the winner of the MMW/Zeiss Precision Image Competition. I was honored with that award for 2014. I can not express how incredible this is and how it validated my work, as well as the entire field of art nude photography. I can't wait until tomorrow when I get to use them for the first time.
