I was nominated in the Still Life Amateur Category for "Creative Clutter." There were more than 9,000 entries for this competition.
Understanding the classification of "Amateur" in this and other competitions: Since, at the moment, I do not earn the majority of my income from fine art photography I am considered as an "Amateur Fine Art Photographer." In other circles, I am considered an "Emerging Fine Art Photographer" -- I do sell my artwork and exhibit in juried exhibitions (live and on the internet) and have won awards.
