I won Honorable Mention in the Texas Photographic Society's photo competition called: Childhood.
The juror was Jamie Lee Curtis and in her Juror's Statement she wrote that she was looking for the "essence, joy, pain, play, boredom, frustration, and elation of childhood."
They tell me that there were 2,240 images submitted from 11 different countries. So, cool. Very cool. I'm pretty excited. I can't go to the reception because 1. It's in Austin, and 2. I can't get to Austin because...I'll be in Chile!!!! Rock. More about that later.
For now, here's the photograph that won me all that fame and all that fortune. I titled it 'Fear.'

And to welcome 2010.
In an attempt to toast a great year and to procrastinate learning some more Spanish, I've compiled a gathering of my favorite photographs from 2009. My opinion might change next week, but here's what I came up with as of today, January 4th, 2010.
Thank you to everyone who welcomed me into their lives to photograph them. Much love and I'll see you when winter lifts!

Wow. This is the kindof shoot that spoils family photographers. Alexander might be the most precious thing in the world and he full-on stares at the camera, squeals, and smiles a toothless grin from ear to ear. Until he's hungry. And then he chews on the inside of his elbow which is also pretty cute.
I wish I lived in a village of Alexanders.
enjoy.

Puppies and babies! What's not to love. Maureen is expecting her first Little Small and wanted to capture this moment in her life. Obv. Doesn't hurt that she looks beyond gorgeous pregnant!
Can't wait to meet Smalls. Soon enough!
Good luck, Maureen and Brendan. See you soon!
THANK YOU!!!

Here they are again: growing and changing and being beautiful: The Skypecks. These children are the light of my life, and I can't believe I get to be such a close family friends as they grow up. There have been a lot of beautiful things happen to me in my time living in Boston, but having such a close relationship with Ben and Anna (and now Small Will) (and Kate and Jay!) is a highlight of my life. I could gush on and on, but Kate hates that crap so I'll just show some Christmas photos.
And/or see an older post here.
enjoy.
Will is just learning how to walk. What a thrill! And big sis Anna is always close by so he doesn't hurt himself.
He's off again!

Oh, Tara! That's one of my favorite photos of yours. When I first saw it, I emailed it to my sister, saying how perfectly it captures that moment of being a kid and so much wanting to be part of the crowd, trying so hard to get up the nerve to take that step. Heck, it captures moments I even have to this day! Your honorable mention is much, much deserved.
