2022 Eastern Canada Photographic Artist of the Year

Feb 28

Judging for the 2023 National Image Competition has wrapped up, so now I can finally share my images from the 2022 Eastern Canada Regional Image Competition this past November.

First of all, I was pretty shocked to win Photographic Artist of the Year again. It was the fifth year in a row that I have won the regional title BUT, this year our tiny Atlantic Region merged with Quebec and Ontario, creating the new Eastern Canada Competition. It was truly the proverbial jump from being a big fish in a small pond to a tiny fish in a big pond.

Upper left, geese in flight over a marsh as sunlight breaks through storm clouds, upper right, a portrait of a blue Persian cat, lower right, running horses kicking up dust, lower left, a painterly portrait of a rooster. — My 4 winning images, clockwise from top left: “After the Storm” scored Merit, “Mr. Whiskers” scored Excellence and won a Judge’s Choice Award, “Dusty Dance” scored Merit, and “Best Dressed” scored Accepted.

Now all I can do is cross my fingers and wait until the National Awards Gala in Canmore, AB in April!
