Gold and Silver in PX3


Was very happy to see two series of mine awarded in the 2012 Prix De La Photographie Paris (PX3). My Stealing Beauty portrait series on the dying tradition of female facial tattooing among the Chin in Myanmar got a gold in the portraiture category. And a photo-essay I did on Chin State got a silver in the travel category.  There's a lot of really great work up in the winners gallery here and was happy to see my friend Luke Duggleby's awesome series on the Dhammakaya temple recognized too.
