Big news!

Second blog post of the week but it's for a good reason! As some of you know PPOC was this past weekend and I managed to pull myself together enough to enter two of (in my opinion) my best images from the past year(2016). As a no brainer I picked the Merida themed one as I have so far not created anything I am more giddy and proud of but as a second after much humming and hawing I chose my Derby girl image I shot with Tiffany Modele earlier in the year, there is something about it that makes me really happy and I feel it really holds up as whole piece.

Levels of this competition are rated Accepted, Merit, and Excellent and I managed to place a Merit with "Brave" and an Accepted with "Derby Girl". Needless to say I freaked out when I found out. I'v never entered my work in a competition and to get such an amazing response blew me away! Their comments were extremely exciting as well and gave me a couple good ideas on how to improve these images even more.
