I submitted a photo series to the Street Photographers Foundation on March 31st, the deadline. I made the series the day before, in my hometown of Cincinnati Ohio at the Reds Opening Day Parade. I was chosen as a finalist in the competition. I’m still unfulfilled in my photography.
What is fulfilling is that I made these in my hometown. A place I’m connected too. This made me proud, to showcase my city and the unique experience it provides. It’s telling that’s I’ve been shooting daily in California and never had the urge to submit the photos for critique.
