Pretty pumped about my WPJA award. I joined late last year and this is the second contest I’ve entered. I submitted all manner of photojournalist images but they chose a portrait from Emilie & Zack’s courthouse DC segway wedding. Gotta say, that was a pretty sweet wedding/portrait session, so I can’t blame WPJA for thinking it was awesome.
I don’t know if this will be a series. I have a handful of stories I could tell from Mexico and it would seem to fit in, what with my video being half about Mexico anyway. I’m inspired to tell this story because I’m reading Wild by Cheryl Strayed, about her 2,000 mile hike on the Pacific Crest Trail. And I was reminded of the time I summited a mountain. This post is incredibly long – please forgive me! – but it’s probably my best story from Mexico.
I do hope you’ve watched my promo video already. I’m so pleased with how it turned out and major props to Caleb from East West Productions for knocking it out of the (Fort Ward) park.
