The New York Photo Awards released their list of nominees yesterday and I found myself on the list with a lot of talented folks including Jenn.
The contest is also my slow departure from what I consider my traditional photojournalism roots. This has been the first year that I’ve primarily focused on contests that are seen outside of the newspaper world. It’s been a slow and gradual progression, but over the past year I’m finding myself growing more distant from my PJ roots. That’s for a different post though.
I’m a nominee in the editorial series category for my prison project, which after months of struggling to find a name Jenn and I finally have a title we like; Served Out: Aging and Dying Behind Bars. We’ll see how it plays out, but considering the talent that populates the list I’m happy to be a nominee. Now only if I could find a way for the project and website to produce itself.
