View Full Version : Dave has another (exciting) photo announcement
Hello Fellow RFfs --
I am pleased to announce that I have been rewarded with another recognition of my photography.
I was just notified that I have won Photo Techniques (http://www.phototechmag.com/) magazines annual portfolio contest. I submitted eight of my black & white street photographs and these were selected as the winner.
There will be a four page spread in the magazine in the January-February issue that will hit the newsstands in late December.
I will not scoop the magazine by revealing the winning portfolio images but visitors to my PAW and European galleries may be able to pick them out.
This has been a very good year for me being winning contests and/or being published seven times so far in 2007.

Dave, remind us again when the issue hits the stores. I'd like to check it out.
Looking through your portfolio, I found "bike boy". I remember seeing that in a magazine recently. Cool that more will be published!
Way to go Dave! Now the challenge of picking them out from you galleries......
Congrats and well deserved!

Dave - question for you...
How have you been finding contests to enter? Just looking through the magazines you read? Or some other resource? I haven't entered anything in years, and am curious to hear what you've been doing.
Other than taking great photos, obviously. ;)

To rouge_designer:
I browse numerous magazines looking for submission opportunities.
I am also on several mailing lists now that have notices about
competitions, etc. For example, Camera Arts magazine, the
Center for Fine Art Photography, and Photo Forum all have
regular e-mail newsletters that I get. I find submission
opportunties there. I also have photographer friends who
occasionally pass tips to me.
IDEA TO STEPHEN GANDY: Maybe there can be a forum here
on RFf where members can share competition/submission leads.

To Al Patterson:
Yes, I will post a reminder.

To Thardy:
Yes, "Bike Boy" was published in Shutterbug earlier in the
year. And there is no repeat in the Photo Techniques selections.
To Everyone Else:
Thanks for your kinds words of support.
Congratulations! All these photo comps are very competitive and that speaks volumes about the quality of your pictures...way to go!

Go Dave!!
"It's great to be a Texan", I like that shot in your PAW 2007 :)
Simply participating to contests is the key 50% of the time.
Dave, what's the "famous photographer" signature about? You naming yourself?

Thanks Dave! the Tips are much appreciated.
Wow! Congratulations Dave! I wish that I could have the chance to participate in competitions like this. Though I doubt my photos would make really any impact. One can dream at least though. :D

To paraphrase Wayne Gretzky: You lose 100% of the contests you don't enter.
Congrats, Dave!

You never know what will catch someone's eye...
>Dave, what's the "famous photographer" signature about?
>You naming yourself?
To NB23:
Well, I suppose that this is a bit of wishful thinking on my part. I used that signature long before I had anything published.
But maybe if we think it, it can come true.

Well, I once wanted to be an Infamous Photographer, but Ron Galella and Helmut Newton were fighting for that title, so...
Beaucoup congrats, Dave (again).
As for photo contects, whatever one may think of them (for me, it mostly depends on who's throwing 'em), it reminds me of a quote from some character from some movie I can't remember at the moment: you cannot win if you do not play. Of course, that might have been a croupier in A.C. on a slow night...
