2022 Year in Review

January 02, 2023  •  Leave a Comment

It's been a good year!

I've been reviewing my photographic accomplishments for the year and feel like I've achieved some great recognition, and learned a great deal about what makes a good photograph. Honestly, I didn't realize that I'd invested in so many contests and exhibitions, but I learn something from each of them.

In summary (with submission deadlines of December 2021 through November 2022; results usually take about a month):
