I was making my usual morning cup of Earl Grey in my favorite mug a few weeks ago and I heard the familiar notification sound that my phone makes when I get an email. I open up my account and my eyes are slow to adjust, but I think it says that one of my images was selected for exhibition. I see words like "congratulations" and phrases like "the competition was tough" and "the standard was high". I blink. Re-read it again. And then again. I see a link at the bottom to view the exhibit and I scroll down and I see a very familiar picture...a photograph I made. And it hits me then that my work was included among so many talented photographers that I deeply admire and look up to. And an environmental portrait that I made was included among theirs. I am so filled with gratitude and honestly, I am humbled. To the amazing jurors, thank you so much for seeing the magic that I see in this photograph and for believing in my work. To see the whole exhibit, please click here. It's so inspiring!
