Jay Watson Photography

This week I found out from photographer friend Michael Singman-Aste that I scooped up two honorable mentions for the 2008 International Photography Awards. Thanks for the news Michael and congratulations to you as well! The image below is part of a new ongoing series called “Covered,” that won in the Fine Art category. The IPA received over 22,000 submissions this year! Being one of the few hundred honorable mentions is a worthy accomplishment. It is nice to receive the recognition, and I enjoy being listed next to some of the well known names in the industry. Cheers to all the winners.
