Would have posted this on my editorial site, http://www.nathanweltonphoto.com, but I don’t have a blog there, so I’m posting it here.
Just got the results from the 2007 American Horse Publications awards ceremony, which covered all stories and photos published in 2006. I shoot for Practical Horseman Magazine covering dressage, hunter/jumpers and eventing, among other things, and I shot a cover for them for their breeding issue. The cover won an Honorable Mention for covers, and that was in the largest circulation division. Cool beans!
The magazine also also picked up a third place award for a story called “It’s Equitation, by George” written by one of the editors there, Kip Goldreyer. That was another cover story I shot, and was an awesome experience. Can’t wait for Florida this year!
Each year we go to Florida for a huge annual horse show near Palm Beach, and we are just finalizing the agenda for this year. It’s a pretty fun week because we do a year’s worth of stories all at once, shooting and interviewing some of the big movers and shakers in the horse world. More on that next month!
