While going back over everything I shot last year, I did come across something I almost forgot about. I shot a local Mexican-style rodeo with fellow photographer Neemah Esmaeilpour back when we were trying to learn how to do audio slideshows. He recorded sound, I shot photos. The story was never published by our newspaper, so I thought I'd bring them to life on my blog. A version of the slideshow can also be found here.
I probably don't have a shot, but here are a few I'm thinking about entering in the Sport Picture Story category. They are in black and white for two reasons: 1) It's kinda cool, and 2) I want them to win.

Mike,
I like the package. I would darken it down a bit before entering though, It looks a bit washed out on my screen. (But that may just be my screen.

P.S. How do you post the slideshows? I have some that we don't have on my web site (Our paper isn't there yet). And I would like to share them how do you do that?
I hope you are as successful as J-Hud was at the Golden Globes. :)
Michael,
I wasn't familiar with the POYi awards so I had a look at the web site and the rules for the competition. What a shame they charge $50 to enter, that just doesn't seem right.
They must know that most entries will be from aspiring photographers who want to win a prize to help their career. How greedy it is to charge those people $50 just to have their picture(s) looked at. They're trying to profit from people gambling on hope.
Personally I wouldn't enter that competition on principle. It feels creepily unethical to me, and ethics are such a huge part of photo journalism that I wouldn't want to support any organisation that would do such a thing.
Hope you don't mind the rant. Thanks for the effort you put into your always-interesting blog.
