I had a great time at the 2011 PDN Photo Annual party in Tribeca on Wednesday night. Friend and fellow Philly photographer Ryan Collerd and I made the trek up to Manhattan for a whirlwind, whiskey-fueled evening. We rode in the elevator and searched for free drinks with one of my photo-crushes, portrait photographer Chris [...]

From the notice: “While your image will not appear in the book, it was one of only 171 images from a record-breaking 10,100 submitted to receive at least 2 [...]
