A lot of people find photography to be a very glamorous job. There is the travel, and taking pictures and doing cool things that give that impression but those things and social media doesn’t necessarily give the full impression of the reality of being a photographer.

Honorable Mention #2 Px3 Competition
in Photography
I enter competitions for the same reason. I want to see how my work is doing, how my skills mesh with others across the globe, and see what and where I can improve.

I was an artist and in high school my art teacher pushed us and sometimes required us to submit art work to competitions locally and state wide. Yes we wanted to win but he taught us it was the critique and participation where we would learn the most.

As a photographer I have been blessed to do a lot of things many dream of including some pretty extensive traveling. To the point I actually miss taking my camera through an airport on my way to somewhere new.
