WINNER – Spurs Sports & Entertainment Contest

I am so excited!! It was just announced that I was selected as the winner of a photo contest for the best action shot at a recent San Antonio Silver Stars game. Several photography groups were invited and there was a good turnout of photographers. One of my photos was chosen as the winner by a “creative team” which included D. Clarke Evans who has been an NBA photographer for the Spurs for over 20 years. The prize = SPURS tickets!!!

WINNER: 1st Place – Capture San Antonio Photo Contest [March 2012]

My image of the “Battle of the Alamo” won FIRST PLACE at a local photo contest held at the Art-of-Java coffee house.  This contest was sponsored by the Capture San Antonio Photography Group.  Out of almost 40 entries, the patrons cast the most votes for “The Battle of the Alamo.”  The contest was held from February 26 – March 9, 2012.  This photo has previously won the Standard and Signature awards in the Photojournalism category at DailyAwards.com.

This photo depicts San Antonio’s bravest, San Antonio Fire Department personnel on scene of a four-alarm fire in downtown San Antonio. This historic building, the Wolfson Building built in 1880, was destroyed. Although this fire was not at Mission San Antonio de Valero (the Alamo), the remaining wall resembles the exterior wall of The Alamo’s famous chapel. This fierce battle by SAFD saved a piece of San Antonio history.

WINNER: Photojournalism Standard and Signature Categories – DailyAwards.com [02-25-12]

My image of the “Battle of the Alamo” won dual awards at DailyAwards.com on February 25th, 2012.  It won the Standard and Signature awards in the Photojournalism category.

This photo depicts San Antonio’s bravest, San Antonio Fire Department personnel on scene of a four-alarm fire in downtown San Antonio. This historic building, the Wolfson Building built in 1880, was destroyed. Although this fire was not at Mission San Antonio de Valero (the Alamo), the remaining wall resembles the exterior wall of The Alamo’s famous chapel. This fierce battle by SAFD saved a piece of San Antonio history.

I took several photos at the scene of the fire and imported them into my workflow.  After reviewing them numerous times, this photo really stood out due to the resemblance of the Alamo’s chapel wall.  This photograph is also entered in a local photo contest at a coffee house in San Antonio.  It was printed using a metallic printing process which allows the details to “pop.”
