13th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
In Print

I follow all of these photographers and see their work printed everywhere, in magazine, on billboards, and I'm astonished by the work I see. It can be as simple as putting your picture in the newspaper. A part of me feels so put down that I have not had my work put anywhere yet, but I have to believe it will one day. I must not get scared by the work already out there, but inspired. I have always wanted to travel, because I never had and the experience of doing so. Being able to create a photo in a place I have never been and show it to others would not only broaden my horizons but all those who see my work.
