awards!

I recently won first place in the Pro-48 Hours division and third place Multimedia Shooter of the Year in the Illinois Press Photographers Association Best of Multimedia annual competition. I am very excited about this. Here are some of the pieces I entered (this makes up for all the internships that said I needed more multimedia experience!!!):
