2011 New Talent Competition Photos

[BillsBayou]

My friend and travelling companion, Mitch Thomas, participated in the Joshua Roth New Talent Competition at the 2011 symposium. I was asked to shoot some before and after shots. Later I was asked to shoot the award presentations for the ABS Jounal. A representative from BCI asked to reprint these photos as well. The watermark at the bottom of the photos can be removed by me if any of these photos are to be used by ABS or BCI for print or web.

Appologies on the changes in exposure settings. The rooms were a bit anemic and shooting into the tree's canopies was difficult.

I'm glad we don't use a mailing list. If I'd been asked to post 36 photos and did so into all your email in-boxes, I'd be crucified.

That should do it for the competition. I'll be putting up the trees from the convention itself, but not here. That's just too many trees. I'll post an address when I have those photos up and available.

Bill, The fourth award was my presentation of a check to Thomas to cover the cost of his registration - The Pat Morris Memorial award.

The tree's owners are: 1 Alex Wenger, 2 Mitch Boatman, 3 Lydia Cruz, 4 Thomas Kodiak, 5 Thomas Mitchel, 6 Katherine Nelson.

Hope this helps

#5 is Mitchel Thomas

His name keeps getting switched around on the ABS information.

Thanks Bill, I'll make a note of it on my side.
