I found out today I got first place in the color photography professional division at the American Fork Steel Days art show. It was the last photo I would have ever expected to win in a Utah art show. But it goes to show you anything can happen I guess.
I found this event very interesting the year before I left for Hallmark Institute of Photography I was in my senior year of high school and I didn’t even place in the high school division. Now a year later I enter in a couple of photos into the professional division and got first. So I guess I can safely say Hallmark did a pretty good job at teaching me.
