MPPA


The first morning at the Michigan Press Photographer's Association seminar I woke up to this. Dan was kind enough to throw open the curtains to let the morning rays blind me. No luck sleeping in with Dan around. Soon after, we set off looking for the continental breakfast. After some initial confusion involving an elevator trip to the 5th floor, we discovered that none existed. No luck there. But after coffee and egg sandwichs at Tim Horton's we were ready for the judging.

It was inspiring to see some of the great photojournalism being done around the state. You can see all the winning images here. I was pleased to see Central Michigan well represented. There are some great people here. Hopefully, in these coming years we will continue to see a culture of photojournalism being built. I want to be a part of it.

**Side Note** Funniest moment of the weekend: watching a bridesmaid do a header into the pool, dress and all.
