POYi Sports Action

One of the singles from my charreada story took third place in Sports Action at the 67th Pictures of the Year International competition.

Last year, I was sitting in the audience watching the judging live.  I had just been laid-off and wondered if I would ever make it outside of newspapers.  

One year later, I watched the commentary from Austin via webcast, biting my nails to the stub.  The road ahead is still a long one, but it's great to know that competing at this level doesn't end with the staff job.
