I’m excited to announce that I finished in 2nd place for the Illinois Photographer of the Year for 2011. It’s crazy to think in the last three years I’ve placed in the top 3 positions. I hope I can keep up. There was a lot of amazing work this year and as usual, Scott Strazzante cleaned house! Thanks to all the speakers who came out and the members who put on the amazing event. Check out all of the great work from this years contest.
