Albuquerque Trib reunion 2 – Images by Steven St. John
February 23rd marks the final edition of the Albuquerque Tribune. For this, the second anniversary, alumni gathered to remember the best little newspaper ever. It was wonderful seeing so many members of my tribe, and I miss those who couldn’t join us.
I didn’t enter any pictures this year, but I’m still fascinated by judging currently going on in Missouri at Pictures of the Year International. If you don’t really love photojournalism, it’s probably like watching paint day. But I do love it, and painful as it is to see some of my friends great work pass by on the way to the “outs” pile, it is an incredible education opportunity for young photographers. I was lucky enough to win a second place in the feature sports (above) category a few years ago, and it is both humbling and inspiring to see all the other great photography. I really need to start entering contests again, not to win, but for the great opportunity they afford to reflect on my own work.
A tree I came across in Mexico inside the Parque Nacional Grutas de Cacahuamilpa, located in the most northern part of the State of Guerrero, 32 mi from Taxco Mexico.
