Short Listed for the IPA Quarterly

In August of 2012 I attended the L.A. Mobile Arts Festival. At that time I had probably taken less than 100 images with my iPhone and didn't know the difference between Snapseed and Filterstorm. With just a little more than a year of experience and a passion that has totally consumed me, I entered the IPA Quarterly for a chance to be shortlisted and possibly even exhibited at the event in October.

Today I received the good news that my photo, The Recital was on the shortlist. There were more than 2400 entries and 54 were selected, so this is a really big deal for me. There's nothing more rewarding than striving to do well at something and actually coming close to accomplishing it.
