*Insert happy dance* Mary placed with two images in the last WPJA contest of 2009! The first in Bride Getting Ready took 8th place, and the second in Found Details took 15th! Not to shabby considering it was vs. the world and some of the best photojournalists around! Maybe now she will get on it and finish up her bio on their site. This is definite cause for celebration; and possibly a beer! Good thing it’s St. Patrick’s Day.

JUDGES COMMENTS: “This one stood out because it’s just so different, a vintage photo and the angle to the light helps you to see exactly what’s being seen by the subject of the picture.”

JUDGES COMMENTS: “Very delicate image that uses color and light very nicely to display a detail important to the bride.”
