I had a good year in 2014.
In January I found out I almost won a Leica and over 12K . Results were posted on January 2. Got two images in the finals and both received a Mark of Excellence award in the I Shot It B&W competition.
The two photos

This image was also in a juried show at the Soho Gallery in New York in July. Over 2600 entires only 42 images selected for the exhibit.
(DUPLICATE IMAGE)
The photo that was selected for the Soho exhibit was the guy with the girl over his shoulder.

Also found out on the professional side that these two publications I shoot received two major national awards and the ads I shoot for them also received an award.

Here are the publications

ResU is an award recipient for the 2014 MarCom Awards in the following categories:

GOLD
Best Magazine/Educational Institution: Reflections Magazine Fall 2014

HONORABLE MENTION
Marketing/Promo Campaign/Special Event: 100 Year Anniversary


MarCom Awards is a creative competition for any individual or company involved in the concept, writing and design of print, visual, audio and web materials and programs. Entries come from corporate marketing and communication departments, advertising agencies, PR firms, design shops, production companies and freelancers.
The MarCom statuette graces the trophy cases of some of the top business and communication firms in the world. The MarCom competition has grown to perhaps the largest of its kind in the world with about 6,000 entries per year. A look at the winners shows a range in size from individuals to media conglomerates and Fortune 50 companies. The competition is so well thought of in the industry that national public relations organizations, local ad clubs, and local business communicator chapters are entrants.
Judges are industry professionals who look for companies whose talents exceed a high standard of excellence and whose work serves as a benchmark for the industry. There were over 6500 entries from the United States, Canada and 15 other countries in the MarCom Awards 2014 competition.

Also was chosen to have a one man exhibit March at The Range Finder Gallery. Opening March 6th.

And I just found out recently that some images I shot back in Nov & Dec were used as bus ads. Kinda freaky seeing one of your photographs covering the back part of a bus.

I remember seeing those bus ads.

I still love that picture of the guy with the cute little girl on his shoulder. I laugh every time I see it because of the dichotomy between the advertisement on the window for the vegetarian salad and the large man walking past.

Congratulations. I'm a big fan of your B&W work but it's great to see some colour too. It must be quite amazing to see your work on the CTA buses - I think I'd be telling everyone!

Thanks so much Kurt and Annie. Most of my commercial work is color and all of my personal work for the last few years has been B&W.
