Best of Photojournalism 2006

I was very surprised and proud to find out that my Foster City Carnival photo set received 3rd place in the National Press Photographers Best of Photojournalism 2006 awards; I won in the Amateur Photo Blogs, Festival and Events category.

You may (or not) have noticed that I had two flickr accounts which I've since consolidated back down to one. My initial idea was to separate serious photography from snapshots, but there were gray area and was just too much of a hassle. So I'll have one account and just post whatever; it's my life, I'll let it all bleed together.

And a few links to satiate you; here's a couple of cool new web apps I've come across and using:

• 30 Boxes - A sweet online calendar, I'm using it and syncing my desktop/laptop to this. It can even send SMS reminders and a real slick easy interface.
• TwoFifty.org - A site to help track which of the IMDb's Top 250 Movies you've seen. I made a simple list app to do this on my own, but this one is far nicer plus shareable. You can see my list here.
• Swazz Boxovers - A nice javascript library for creating real pretty box overs. I'm using it in my updated blog archives. swazzy!
