Holy crap! Am I tickled!!

The International Photographic Competition (IPC) with Professional Photographers of America (PPA) has been going on for a couple days now and I’ve got some news I want to share. I received top possible scores for an entry in the Master Artists category. All four of my images were accepted into the Loan Collection. Usually I’m very happy to achieve even merit status on my images… To go four for four Loan is freakin’ unbelievable. Here’s shot of my phone with the texts I received today from the judging at PPA.

This is amazing. The designation for this accomplishment is Diamond Photographer of the Year – Master Artist.

My IPhone with results form my Master Artist entries…

I’ll share the actual images with you in a couple of days when the results are set in stone. The competition is still happening in Atlanta and if you are a PPA member you can stream the judging and see behind the curtain what the process is. They will be judging over 5,000 images and finishing up on the 7th of August. I’m still going to be watching as I have a Photographic Open entry submission on which to see the results.

Quite a few of the people I have been coaching have had good results also. I think I’m more excited about their successes than my own.

Yours, in Photography,          Bob
