This was the big show.
Seeing the slideshows then made me look at action sports photography in a completely different way.
Last April I entered a three minute slideshow to be considered for the finals of the Pro Photographer Showdown.
I finally felt I had enough to fill the nine minutes of photos that was required as a finalist.
I then spent nine days straight working on my show.
There’s nothing harder than trying to put together a show of your own work.
Cutting those are the hardest.
To show nine minutes of my life’s work to over 3,000 people at once.
I was unbelievably stoked and nervous and kinda choked on stage actually.
Had to cut it short and get off the stage..haha.
I did not win.
So, in four years I will be able to re-enter.
I can’t wait for it, and hope to make finals again.
