Congratulations to the Shutter Sisters who were the grand prize winners in Name Your Dream Assignment. The shutter sisters will travel to five continents to create a visual catalog of hope from surprising sources while an entire community of women photographers do the same in the United States. Their dream is to tell stories that change you and me forever. This assignment takes a community of dreamers on a journey around the world where we consider the essence of hope-that elusive quality that makes it possible to believe this is not the end of your story no matter how simple your stress or profound your tragedy.
PinxitLuc didn't manage to capture the big dream - but still has plans on making the journey to China for the eclipse (albeit, not on a 9 week cultural and nature bound photographic journey). The journey isn't over - it simply takes another shape ;)
Best wishes to all the photographers who entered. We are all winners, each trying to capture and share this magnificent world - in order to translate the human experience. I encourage you to visit some of the websites put together by the judging panel (one judge documents her incredible experience with her pal - a coyote). Finally, kudos to MEDICO for their proposal - but bigger kudos to the mission they are trying to fulfill.
Remember, as Henry David Thoreau once said, "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." THANK YOU to everyone for your support in this. Keep dreaming and keep believing! When one door closes, it challenges us to open another one.
