The first email I read Monday night while still on the plane from Ottawa was from FotoWeek DC and began as follows…
Congratulations! We are pleased to inform you that you are a finalist in the FotoWeek DC Awards Competition. This means that your image will be exhibited in one of our FotoWeek galleries in Georgetown throughout the length of FotoWeek DC and you might be the first prize winner in the category you entered. You are also invited to the Awards Ceremony and Reception to be held at the National Geographic Society on November 5, 2009 where the winners will be announced and prizes will be awarded.
What a great birthday present, eh?! I’m very excited to be selected as a finalist and can’t wait for the gala held at Nat Geo in November.
Some more info about the competition…
FotoWeek DC Awards Competition Exhibition
This exhibition of the finalists from the 2009 Awards competition recognizes and honors extraordinary work in photography. Entries from sixteen states and twenty-eight foreign countries were made in several categories, including Fine Art, News/Feature Reporting, Advertising, Travel, and Sports. A multimedia category was added this year, too — work that may combine still photography with sound, graphics or video. A distinguished panel of judges, both from the U. S. and abroad, has carefully selected our finalists who will be recognized with Awards of Excellence, Distinction, and Merit — the top three entries in each category for a total of $21,500 in cash prizes. The winner of the “Spirit of Washington,” a single image that captures the essence of our capitol city, will receive the $5,000 Podesta Prize.

Over the weekend I realised that my site was compromised. In order to be sure that I killed any hidden malicious code I had to delete everything and start over again. I’m working to replace content as time allows.
