WOOHOOO — An Award!
I just got a call…
I was chosen for the Heidi Mauracher Award! It is given by Professional Photographers of California and Golden Gate School of Professional Photography!
WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO… I won, I won!
I am very excited (if you couldn’t tell).

It was based on overall achievement, not from a specific photograph. I have included a photograph from a recent shoot just for fun since this is a photo blog.

With the Heidi Mauracher Award, I got a scholarship to attend Golden Gate School, which is a 3-day school that is held once a year by the PPGBA (Professional Photographers of the Greater Bay Area). The only mention of my award was in the daily newsletter…
Not a lot of glory and recognition, but hey – I got to pick my class, which would’ve normally put me out $700, and I was in the BEST class! Lighting with Andre Costantini!
Plus, I feel honored to have received the award because Heidi Mauracher sounded like a great person and photographer… someone I would’ve loved to meet and draw inspiration from. Thanks to everyone at GGS and PPGBA! This was a fabulous experience. I learned a lot and had a TON of fun — and isn’t fun what life is all about?
