It was an exciting day last July 21, 2010 . First, I was waiting for UPS to arrive for my 16×20 print and it came around 6pm. Then the deadline to submit for the Professional Photographers os Sacramento Valley (PPSV) print competition is at 6:45 pm and I still have another appointment meeting at 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm. So I asked my buddy Ruben Edgardo if he could pick up my print and bring it to the PPSV meeting to submit it at Dante Club in Sacramento. Thankfully it got there on time. Thanks to Ruben Edgardo Gongalez.
I got there at the PPSV meeting at 7:30 pm and the speaker was Tim Engle showing his style of lighting using flashlights in his portraits. Then the print competition started at 9pm. I was so nervous because I didn’t know what the judges will say about my print. However, I’m so happy it scored high for superior quality! My print “The Mansion” got the Best of Show and Speaker’s Choice Award! Thanks to the judges David Mckay, Ally Mckay, Tim Engle, Thomas Kuhl, Sandra Harris and James Hays.
I would like to thank you also for the bride and groom Mea and Lendon. Thank you for trusting me to photograph your wedding. I know we had quite a way to walk to the mansion, but it’s all worth it and the pictures we took will last a lifetime.
