Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards 2023 - Final Round
The "mother" of all competitions is the prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year. And for a second year I managed to make the final round. Let's see, there were over 50,000 entries (that is fifty thousand) and only 4,024 made it to the final round. While I did not win this year, being in the top 8% is pretty cool. That is the top 8% from amazing photographers around the world. And what makes this even sweeter is that the judges noticed, and then came back and looked again, at my photo of my beloved Grebes!
Yes, it was the photo above :-). Thank you WPY, I am super happy!
October 25, 2022 - WE DID IT!!
Super thrilled to receive first place in category: Photography: serious subject at the San Diego Press Club's Excellence in Journalism Awards for my Grebe photos accompanying the article "The Grebes of Lake Hodges and their complicated quest to nest". I was honored to be able to contribute my Grebe expertise and photos to the article and a huge thanks to the talented LaTeresa Pearson for her brilliant writing. Oh and we also took first place in Wildlife/Nature category. A great win for the Grebes, the San Diego Audubon Society, and my Grebe conservation project at Lake Hodges, CA.
