Well, I thought I'd try my luck again over in the land of milk and honey - it is my homeland after all! I put in six images for the IRIS Awards and came away with five awards, so I'm very happy with that. This year, in particular, I would have been happier to be there in person, as it was held in Queenstown at the peak of the ski season in September!!! Next time!
I was awarded a silver and two bronze awards in the Landscape category, a bronze award in the Portrait Category and one more bronze in the Illustrative Category. The standard was exceptionally high this year and some of the images this year are incredible. I highly encourage you to have a thorough look, there is some exquisite imagery...
I also now have achieved my honorary associateship (ANZIPP), which means I can add to my Australian one and put a few more letters behind my name!
I've included a couple of images I put in this year's awards. The triptych was shot on my trusty Canon G10 (always in my pocket) at a rock outcrop in Dodges Ferry, Tasmania and the other was shot on a walk on a protected Peninsula south of Auckland NZ, just next to a beautiful Maori Pa site set above the water's edge. Enjoy!
