Could this be one of the best days in my photographic career?

Being Selected for The Photographic World Cup is one of the highest honors a photographer can get. I am happy to announce that I was chosen to be on the USA’s team for Wildlife. The image that got me into the World Cup was composed at Mashatu Game Reserve in Botswana on our safari last March. We had a wonderful group of photographers that joined us in this amazing place.
“The World Photographic Cup is unlike any other photographic competition in that it not only involves the best professional photographers from around the world, but in true Olympic style, it offers nations the chance to compete against each other,” said PPA CEO David Trust. “The result is, in effect, the best possible portfolio of photography from across the globe that shines a bright light on our industry.”
