Nominated
Wow. This is a nice surprise. (Seriously surprised) A photo I took last year just got nominated in the Social Issues category for a News Photographers Association of Canada National Picture of the Year award. Here it is.
OTTAWA – May 31, 2009 – Lucy Chapman (left), her partner and their daughter remain locked in a group hug during Guerilla Freeze, an event meant to desensitize passers-by to the sight of same-sex displays of affection. (Paul Galipeau / Capital Xtra!)
This is rad because I’m up against two pretty big names and the photo was also shot for Capital Xtra! There’s a video of the event the photo was taken at on Xtra.ca where you get different angles of the moment. You can also see me in the video, I think. We’ll find out what happens in a few weeks. Get the full list of categories and nominees at NPAC.ca.
Until we find out, here’s a photo of me trying to get out of New Jersey yesterday (JK…mad love to the Garden State).
