LOOKING BACK ... SCOTTISH REGION MASTER PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR AWARDS 2010 |
Blogs as well as Sandy Weir Photography have been around for many years but surprisingly this is my first entry into the phenomenon. So instead of looking forward into 2011, I thought it may be appropriate to start off by looking back on "past glories" from the year gone by.
I had enjoyed success in previous photo competitions, most notably one through the sadly now defunct Guild of Wedding Photographers back in 2009 which rewarded me with a trip to Las Vegas and a visit to the acclaimed Wedding and Portrait Photographers International (WPPI) annual convention. However, as I hadn't entered into photographic competitions for some years, I felt the time was ripe to try my hand at the Master Photographer Association (MPA) Scottish Region Print Awards.
The 2010 Awards were spread over 19 categories and attracted in excess of 900 print entries. It was a great honour and privilege to win outright in two of the categories as there were so many exceptional entries. It's such a wonderful morale boost to receive acknowledgement from one's peers.
