I'm number 17!!
The results of the Wedding Photojournalist 2nd quarter contest were just announced and to my delight one of my images placed! Word is that this contest had over 4,000 entries, so I didn't have high hopes. There is some amazing talent and work out there. I placed number 17 in the "Humor" category from a picture taken during the getting ready from Lisa and Al's wedding. As you can imagine, there is a story behind this image :)
The second image I have posted was taken by the uber talented Mr. Cliff Brunk from San Francisco who came to shoot a few weddings with me this summer, and he totally kicked my ass and took first place in the "Cake Cutting" category.
Here's a Kevin Bacon six degrees thing to consider: Cliff shot two weddings with me, two week ends in a row. The first was Lisa and Al's, and I won with an image from their wedding. The next week end we shot Heather and Randy's, and Cliff won with an image from their wedding. Here's where it gets even freakier....at Heather and Randy's wedding during pictures at the Art Museum Lisa and Al walked by and ran over to say hi to Cliff and I. This also convinced Cliff that I am a total rock star photographer and EVERY ONE knows who I am. But alas, now that he has kicked my ass, that's probably all over.
You owe me a Vineyard wedding Brunk :)

Ok I totally love that shot mostly because if you look closely at it....You can see FROSTING plugging one of my NOSTRILS!! I mean completely plugged! I was snorting cake for days after that! Such a good shot!
ReplyDeleteWoot for you Cliff, way to get me at my 'best'
Heather
Thanks to Kim for having me along and posting this!
ReplyDeleteA BIG thanks to Heather and Randy who not only allowed the mysterious photographer from San Francisco to shoot at their wedding, but who were awesome enough to give us this hilarious moment to photograph! This was my favorite moment at the wedding hands down!
