IPPA Awards


April 25th, 2010 by Rob Hart

I was lucky enough to score some awards this weekend at the annual Illinois Press Photographers Association convention held in St. Louis, MO. I feel honored to have placed in the photographer of the year category behind Will DeShazer, first, and Scott Strazzante, second place. Will and Scott are some of my favorite people and and both great visual storytellers.

We had some amazing judges in Liz O. Baylen, David Eulitt, and Josh Meltzer. We also were lucky enough to have Erik Lunsford perform some stand-up comedy and show some photos. I always love getting so spend a few days with people who are passionate about making pictures and communing with a bunch of my friends. I think my favorite moment was when Liz said, “This photographer has some real purposeful seeing.” They were debating my portfolio and I almost had a heart attack.

I am so blessed. Thanks everyone who helped out this weekend. Much PJ love.
