A big congrats to all the exhibitors and winners in the 70th annual Iowa State Fair Photography Salon! A record 4577 photographs were submitted by 1493 photographers, with 875 photos and 608 photographers selected for display.

My results…

1 of 11 photographers to get all four photos accepted.

1st place People for the Scary-Go-Round. Jwen is soooo excited

2nd place Things & Still Life with Color Curl. Apparently “this close” to being picked Superintendent’s Choice

And these other two on display.

Be sure to stop by the Cultural Center if you’re at the fair, opening tomorrow! There are some amazing photos on display!

Had a great senior session with my little bro’s gf yesterday evening. They came all the way down to the big city toting an entire volume of Encyclopedia Britannicas (circa early 90′s) for props. I understand she’s the only 4.0 in her class, so it looks like she’s well on her way to becoming valedictorian next spring. Although, I think that was the first time she’d ever touched a real, live encyclopedia. Don’t tickle the spine, they bite!

We fought kitties, hair, wind, heat and humidity, but everybody took my antics in stride as I climbed fire escapes and extended the session well past sunset. Hopefully all got their tummies got the B-Bops on the way back to the Fort of Dodge.
