Brian Widdis, 2008 Honorable Mention
“I received a first place for a picture of my wife rocking
my infant son. The fact that someone responded to the picture made me
think I might be able to find a way to make the pictures I wanted to
make and have an audience for them. So, if you ever wonder if your awards
programs have an effect on practicing artists, I can assure you that
they do.”
– Byron Wolfe, 2004 Santa Fe Prize for Photography winner |
