Like much of the world, I spent the last week traveling to visit family for the holidays. It was a wonderful time and such a delight to experience different environments and spend time with loved ones. Just before I left I sent a few photos off to the "Cold Snap Challenge" being sponsored by Wyofile, a state wide wire service with an on-line publication. In the Atlanta airport between flights I checked email and found a post announcing the winner - a long-time photojournalist from Cody. I looked at his beautiful image of bison in Yellowstone and it became obvious why the judges had chosen his photo. But then, as I read down the article, I discovered a list of five or six runner-up's at the bottom and I was delighted to find my name in the mix! Especially when I saw that two of the others were photographers whose work I have long admired. The runner-up photos will be published in the weeks to come. I will post a link when my turn comes around.
I sent several photos and I am not sure which ones will be published (a subsequent email from the publisher indicates that two of mine have made the cut!). The shot above is one of those I sent. It was taken a few weeks ago and shows a herd of elk bunked down out of the wind in our back pasture.
