Greener2013Awards

 

I recently learned that a couple of photographs I made for the Bozeman Daily Chronicle last year were recognized by the Society of Professional Journalists and the Montana Newspaper Association. I won first place Best Sports Photo by the Society of Professional Journalists for a photo I made of a MSU Heptathlete doing the high jump in the NCAA Indoor Track Finals and another first place from the Montana Newspaper Association for Best Feature Photo which was of a young mother tending to her kids in the early morning before work. The full story about their family can be found here. As a personal project I was pretty stoked that one below got the nod from my professional peers. As a whole my employer the Bozeman Daily Chronicle won numerous awards including best newspaper in the state. The full article is posted here. Congrats to my fellow reporters, editors and designers on a great year of public service. My winning images are below. Thanks for looking, -M

Well, this was fun news to find out about. It has been brought to my attention that I recently received some awards for my 2012 editorial photography work at the Bozeman Daily Chronicle. The Society of Professional Journalists has a annual end-of-the-year contest that newspapers from across the country send their best work of the year in to compete against other news organizations. For the Pacific Northwest region (which includes Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Alaska) I was awarded First Place in the Portrait Photography section and Third Place overall in the Photography Portfolio section. Pretty cool. It’s always great to get a nod from your professional peers every once in a while. You can view the full list of winners here. Congrats to the staff of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle for crushing it this past year! And thanks to all of you for the continued support of my photography! -M

And here is the winning portrait and a link to my winning portfolio.
