Special thanks to the jurors who take time out of their busy schedules to carefully critique these contests and offer feedback; I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you help photographers around the world improve their craft!
Here is what Garey had to say about the win:
Wow, what an honor! I'm not sure what to say, other than a huge, heartfelt thank you to the community. I've been working really hard on my
photography , especially over the past 3 years, and the PFRE community has been a huge source of help and inspiration along the way.I've had a truly exciting year in 2019... I’ve been growing my photography business in a direction that I'm passionate about; I made a few breakthroughs; I am shooting a lot more of what I want to be shooting; and I was given the opportunity to speak at the first ever PFRE Conference. These are all major highlights for me, and this award is an excellent way to close the year.
I'm grateful to this community, first and foremost, because it is responsible for influencing many of the good decisions I have made in my
photography and in my business. I am grateful for all of the thoughtful feedback I have received here which has never failed to shape future decisions when shooting. This, in particular, is what inspires me to contribute to the blog at PFRE. I am grateful for the friendships that I have formed here, many of which were further solidified in person last month in Las Vegas. Thank you and congratulations to all of the contestants in the contest for doing incredible work so consistently. Last, but not least, I am grateful to the jurors who give their time to make this contest happen.Congratulations to all of the photographers who enter into the contest.
Many congratulations Garey, it's very well deserved!
