One of the best feedback that a Photographer can have of his art work is when he or she enters his or her work in a Print Competition.

Last Week, PPGF (a South Florida guild for professional photographers) hosted their Second 2010 Print Competition. This time we had our print competition together with the Palm Beaches Guild.

It was a great night with so many great images.

I was planing to enter four of my prints on this competition, but few weeks ago the external hard drive where I save my files crashed. I was lucky enough for having saved 2 of my images in another drive 2 months ago, so I could show them to another photographer friend of my.

Before I show you the images, I want to take this time to thank this photographer, friend of mine, Julie Hughes. Two months ago she came from her Professional Guild in Palm Beach to help our guild members in how to improve our chances in print competitions. Thanks!!!

Here are the results …

This print won 1st Prize for Portrait,

and this one won 1st Prize for Pictorial Portrait, 1st Prize Over All, and also Best in Show…

I know I have a long way to go until I can run my pictures in a national level, but I am getting there.

Hi Everyone, this is Paulo Jordao. Welcome to another great WorldWide Photowalk.

If you noticed, I’ve just posted my Photo Walk Location today - 3 days before the walk.

I’ve organized 4 Photowalks on my own and helped Scott on his 2008 and 2009 Worldwide Photo Walk. I’ve always set up my walk with 5 to 8 weeks in advance, and one thing that I’ve learned is that all my other Photo walks, I had to turn people down because our sign up list got full on the 2 first days (6 weeks before the walk) and at the end some people that signed up wouldn’t show up because they had other plans.

I have to agree that a good location is very important to a successful Photowalk, but the most important thing in a Photo Walk is the GROUP and its leader.

This Photowalk will start at 9:30am at South Beach Park (A1A - Seabreeze Blvd. - couple blocks south of Las Olas Blvd) and end around 11:00am.

We will walk on the east side of the street (Side walk and Beach) walking north on A1A.

After few blocks we will cross A1A, walking back on the west side of the street until we find a nice place to sit down and have some drinks and or food.

It is very hot outside, so… don’t bring heavy gear - One camera and a good lens are more than enough

Please… Only sign up if you are sure you’re coming.

Let’s have some fun!!!
