Cheers: Travis Dove

An overall good week last week was made even better with the breaking news that my good buddy and former assistant Travis Dove won the College Photographer of the Year competition, taking home gold in the portfolio, documentary, and portrait categories!! Congrats T.D.! You are the man!

So cheers to you, Travis Dove! Not only are you an incredibly talented, passionate, and dedicated young photographer, but also, and more importantly, a great friend and extremely warm and generous person. Truly, Judyta and I could not be more excited or happier for your successes. Rock those bitches at Nat Geo, brother!

The pic above is probably from shortly after one of the last jobs that I had Travis' help on last year, and is significant also because that job, like tomorrow's will be, was shot completely on film (unfortunately getting more and more rare). New lens in hand, and Kodak 220 pro packs under each arm, I'm pumped to be at it again out in the Atlantic for a morning shoot for Men's Journal. Now its to bed for me after lots of fluids, vitamins, and a large hot tea, so that this scratchy throat doesn't turn into anything more.

Congrats to Travis!

Hey, that was your buddy? Read about this elsewhere and saw his work, it's very good. A well deserved award.
