For the last two days I have spent as much time as I could watching the Judging of the 2009 EPSON AIPP South Australian Professional Photography Awards. Watching the judging is a wonderful part of my professional development and I always make a point to try and see a good bit of the judging in categories I am not ever likely to enter. This Sunday I watched the Landscape judging all the way through, which was both delightful and fascinating.

Today I was very pleased to see two of my newborn portraits receive silver awards during the portrait judging – that’s them on the left. These two truly were amongst my favourite images from the last year and I was thrilled that they were well received.
