My Image Wins International Competition

Fairy Forest

This week I received the news that my image “Fairy Forest” shown above won the OM System “Creativity. It’s In Our Nature” international photography competition! Here’s what the judges said about the image:

“This mesmerizing capture of fireflies illuminating a tranquil forest seamlessly balances motion and stillness, creating a fairytale-like atmosphere. The fireflies paint the forest with vibrant yellow specks, filling the scene with magic and wonder. Although it might seem like a simple image, there’s more to it than meets the eye. The natural approach makes this a truly deserving winner.”

The six-member judging panel included OM System anbassadors Lisa Michele Burns, Hannu Huhtamo, Anna Salvador, Carl Johanson, Ante Badzim, and Alicia Rey, and the prize is a guided 7-day trip to Japan for two, and $2500 of OM System equipment.

I’m super excited to be heading to Japan this fall with my husband and Lisa Michele Burns, and to begin working with some new (lighter) equipment!
