Last week I found out I was named the Best of Photojournalism, Sports Photojournalist of the Year 2012:

I didn’t really feel like I had a good shooting year last year, but I guess the contest are all subjective and it’s nice to get your work recognized by your peers. Special congrats to my man Al Bello on his 2nd place, he’s a great friend who has always been there for me professionally and personally. If you’re not familiar with his work go to his website at http://albello.com/. He is one of the best photographers around and even a better guy…
