I recently entered PPANJ's (Professional Photographers Association of New Jersey) annual competition for the first time -
and Yeah - I received a Blue Ribbon
"Power Walkers" was on display last week at the annual PPANJ convention in Atlantic City -
PPA competitions are open to all subjects of photography - not just weddings and PPA members are also not just wedding photographers.
PPA is a national organization with state chapters - and the standards are set high - in particular in NJ - PPANJ uses a panel of 5 judges who are nationally accredited photographers and hold nationally status for judging.
Entering competition pushes me as a photographer - this is then an ongoing educational process - with the benefit of pushing myself to see and capture great images and moments of time that will stand up to time.
