Photography Recognized

I was recently awarded two ribbons for my photography by the Wright Camera Club. One was an honorable mention the other an Award. Anytime I am fortunate enough to be recognized as an accomplished photographer by my peers I am humbled....individuals in the Wright Camera Club are phenominal artists....and I learn from them everytime we meet...and every time I (actually) follow their advice.

These were given for two photos that can be seen at http://gallery.me.com/vincent.sawyer#100103/Dominick-20Maino-20copyright-202008-20-5-
