POYi
April 9, 2010
This is the last set of pictures for now from my trip into the past times of analog photography, shot between February 14 and February 18. It’s pictures from the first week of this year’s Picture of the Year International contest where I was one of the graduate coordinators. It was an electrifying experience and we had a great time with the judges Scott Strazzante, Pedro Ugarte, Scott Mc Kiernan and Kathy Anderson.
