Last night, I found out one of my images was accepted into the top 32 in a category for the International Photographic Competition for 2026.
This competition will take place at Professional Photographers of America’s national convention, Imaging USA, in Nashville in January.
When I look at the other images in competition, I’m blown away and incredibly humbled. A total of 2,033 images were submitted and judged for this competition by 15 judges, based on four categories per image, submitting the original image out of camera along with the final image.
Competition just keeps getting harder and harder, I am surrounded by so many amazing artists that I look up to. I am very thankful. 🥹❤️

A priceless piece of art in my own home.🥰
It was hard to take time to get this portrait done in 1997. Now Papa Rog and Grandpa Knute are gone.
We have never regretted making this time count!❤️

(So thankful the photographer thought to sell the negatives when he retired. And I love how he signed his art.❤️)

Color or Black & White?
The colors in this capture are fabulous! But there’s also something so nostalgic about black and white.🥰
Which one do you prefer?
