Well done Tan - just goes to show that hard work and sheer determination do pay off in the end! Oops - forgot about talent!

Ok, so I am just home from a massive week at the Australian Professional Photography Awards, and trying to come back to Earth! Over the weekend at Melbourne, my 4 entered prints were awarded with the following scores: GOLD (93), Silver Distinction (86, and 85) and Silver (83). Giving me a total score of 347 for my four prints, which were entered into both the Family Category and Open Portraiture Category. Can you imagine my surprise when, at the Gala Dinner, my name was announced to be the Canon AIPP Australian Professional Creative Photographer Of The Year Runner Up for 2012!! I am not sure how that happened but am so excited and humbled to accept the title as it is only the second time I have entered the awards! Amazeballs!! Can you believe that little ole me and my little K5 could achieve this?! I'm still pinching myself!! Additionally, The scores that I received also gave me 5 credit points which means that in only 18 months of being an AIPP member I have now qualified as an Associate, with 3 points to go towards becoming a "Master". I can't actually use the title until I have been a member for 2 years, but is exciting all the same! The Pentax Australia guys even came to find me and fill my bag with all kinds of Pentax bits and pieces, although no 645D yet! Don't worry though, I'm working on them! ;-) ...and now back to Earth with a thud! I have a mountain of washing and editing to do! ;-) Tan.x Sent from my iPhone -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
