WNPA POY Contest

The WNPA (Wisconsin News Photographer Association) held its annual POY contest judging today at the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. It was fun to watch the judging (online) and see what judges are looking for and what fellow photographers around the state are doing. There were some really great photos and also some great inspiration that I can take to my work as a photojournalist.

I am not sure if the winner's galleries are posted yet, but the list of winners is online. 

Here is the WNPA website:http://www.wnpaonline.com/

I place second in the Portrait/Personality category with this photo.
