I was half groggy from jetlag after returning from the Congo when I got the text message from friend Jay that my photo of a Nepalese woman had won the “Photo of the Year” award in the professional cateogory last weekend. Jay was at the gala at Weiden + Kennedy, and he wondered if I was in the crowd, but I was home in my jams wondering if I should ever travel again. Such a great surprise after a grueling week, one which left me running away from a potential clash between rebel forces in the DRC. Maybe I should keep at it?
Here is the contest link:
