I’m buried. Literally. Under a mountain of fantastic photo contest entries. They’ve taken over my office. Send help! And chocolate. I’m kidding! It’s so much more fun to get the day’s mail when envelopes from as far away as Alaska arrive containing images from Bora Bora to Iceland to Lizard Island. I love sharing in all your wonderful trips by looking at all the great photos. Keep them coming!

Best Blurb Books Contest Winners
November 19th, 2009 by Lori | No Comments | Filed in Photo Talk
Judging the Best Blurb Books Contest was a blast. After voting narrowed the travel books down to the top 15, I had the pleasure of selecting the Grand Prize Winner and the Runner Up. It was difficult to choose but J.C. Ecrement and O. Remualdo’s book Sadhus of Benares took home the grand prize. Not only were the black and white portraits of Sadhus in the Holy city of Varanasi stunning, but the book itself was well designed. Coming in a close second was Mediterranean Images by Susan Holmes.
