ACCOLADES REVISITED

September 12th, 2012
Post your pictures (include a description and the award you won) that have won ribbons at the fair, won awards or featured in your newspaper. I recently was featured in our local newspaper just yesterday 9/11/2012 with this picture. I thought it would be interesting to see what you all have gotten accolades for. Can't wait to revisit your achievements!

How did you get your shot in the paper? do you work for the paper?
September 12th, 2012
@sailingmusic Our paper has a special section that allows it's readers to submit their photos and then they pick one picture to go in everyday the paper is distributed. No, I do not work for the paper, just a reader. ;)

@andycoleborn I remember this picture. Was it featured in your local paper or did you win an award?
September 12th, 2012
@shirljess No award ;-(.... I just sent it in to the local rag for their 'reader's photos' section...

So no payment either haha
September 12th, 2012
@sailingmusic As per Shirley, most local papers (in the UK at least) have a reader's photo section...

@andycoleborn I did not get an award nor payment either, but good for you for getting your shot featured in your paper, I think that is awesome!

This one was chosen to be used in a brain study at the Univ of Colorado at Denver. No pay, just helping out.


This one was published in jpg magazine. I won $100 and a year's free subscription to the magazine. Sadly the magazine ceased publication and is only a web presence now.

@mikehamm Wow, Mike! That is awesome...good for you!

@shirljess @andycoleborn Great photos and congratulations on being in print, that is awesome. @mikehamm The first photo makes me wonder how it w used for brain studies. The second photo is amazing, can see why you won.
September 13th, 2012
@sianipops - Nia, my understanding of the brain study was that the researchers would show pictures to the subjects to see the subject's responses. I don't know if they were somehow wired to measure certain responses or if it was just a visible response or if they had to write something down.

My photos (from a paid shoot) were featured in this magazine - pages 80-85 :)

(Here's one of them!)

September 13th, 2012
I sent this one into a National women's magazine. It was published, and I got 50 bucks!
September 13th, 2012
Awesome, I can't imagine how rewarding that must be to be featured and paid.. maybe some day I will be able to earn some $$$ with one of my shots.
September 13th, 2012
@onie What a pretty dog! Congrats on both being published and earning 50.00... soooo cool!
September 13th, 2012

I came in third place in our local photo contest with this shot and won a whopping $25! LOL

September 13th, 2012
@sweetcalliope STUNNING! Hey i would take 25.00 any day ;)
September 13th, 2012
On a whim, I entered our town's annual juried art show. The theme this year was "Foodies" and I don't do a lot of food related shots, so I didn't think I'd get in, but this one was chosen! The opening reception is on Friday! Yay :)

September 13th, 2012
My proudest one was getting chosen for the second year in a row for another prestigious photography show that is held at a local museum. It was my Jan 4th photo, but here's a photo of it at the show, with some people admiring it, LOL. They put me front and center, too! I was totally stoked!

September 13th, 2012
@polarvrtx Very clever and congrats to you! How fun for you!
September 13th, 2012
@polarvrtx Awesomeness!
