I didn't earn an award in the 2012 Ohio News Photographer Association this past weekend, but I did win Picture of the Week today!
Every week a photo is chosen to hang at the entrance of the Toledo Blade. Though this photo of the Mud Hens catcher missing a tag never made it into the paper, it was published online in a photo gallery. Although not every story allows for multiple photos, it's nice to have a venue to showcase our work when there's plenty of it.
News photographers used to shoot LOTS of photos, only to see one or two make the paper. Now we can submit up to 15 or more for the online gallery. This is also beneficial because a few contests only allow published work.
Anyway, I just wanted to share that this Pic of the Week ends my long awardless drought.
