Rich spent most of last week in Atalanta with about 40 judges from around the country judging the Professional Photographers of America International Print Competition. More than 5000 images were entered in this years competition. Most of his time was spent judging wedding albums and when the week was over he was pleased to learn that all 4 images he entered received merits. Two of the images, the image of the blue buildings, taken in Italy, and the black and white senior boy image were selected as loan images. A loan award is the highest level award given by the professional Photographers of America in international competition. Both of these images will be published in Professional Photographers of America Loan book for 2010. They will also be on display next January in San Antonio, Texas at the International Convention. By receiveing 4 merited images and two loan images Rich was named Professional Photographers of America Gold level Photographer of the Year.
