All of that fun and not so fun culminated in a diploma in journalism and photography from the Western Academy of Photography.
The hard work paid off, too, and I was fortunate to win some awards for my work. In my program, called Written Image, I won Best Feature Editorial Photo, for a shot of a roadblock in Squamish where a young man was pulled over for drunk driving. In an open category amongst all of the students I won Best Photo Essay, titled "Joey: Age 2.5" (the one in the video of the little boy, all photos are black and white.)
Finally, in my program I won both Best Portfolio and Best Photojournalist. All in all the year paid off! Phew!
