my dear friends claire+jeremy of day19 are having a doozy of a time deciding on the winner of their foto contest..go here to vote for your faves...i had a tough time picking who should get my vote...+now i'm not sure i made the right decision..so i figured i'd post my top 5:
1. richmond lam
2. marina rosso
3. wes cummings
4. ted pushinsy
5. erik schmahl

jazzed is the word to describe my delight...

not one but TWO nominations (for the NYPhoto festival awards) !! "the future of contemporary photography"..woop de woop!
well, my name is misspelled (louis ingalls sturges) in the fine art series category+for some reason my book entry went in under the student category. but details aside, it's a huge honor to have been chosen amongst all these talented photofolk. my fingers are crossed, as one of the awards is a small book run by powerhouse, which would be a dream come true. +i have to say, if i don't win, it'll be aiyght..this alone is a really great step in the very right direction.
what a great week.
