Honorable Mention
"Woman in the Door"
Budapest Hungary, 2015
Biography: Studied photography at Palomar College in San Marcos, CA. BFA Ohio University. Photojournalist for San Diego Union, and freelance with LA Times, and published in magazines. I became a photography/art teacher at a notable high school for two + decades when newspapers slowly lost their influence. Retired now. Do photography for fun and volunteer for a diverse community here in Utah.
I follow the creed of Andre Kertesz, a fellow Hungarian, who said he preferred to be called an amateur because it allowed him to remain an enthusiastic beginner. No pressure, free to make mistakes.
