The National Press Photographers Association will be presenting it’s honors and recognition awards Saturday night in Las Vegas as it winds up Convergence ’09. I find myself on the list of recipients this year being presented the Morris Berman Citation. The Berman Citation is given to an individual for special contributions advancing the interests of photojournalism.
I share the news here to thanks those individuals responsible for nominating me for the award. I’m a little in awe when I look at a list of previous recipients of this award.
I think the recognition speaks very well of ONPA. We’ve been building upon the successes of our predecessors and couldn’t have done so without the help of others. I can’t think of a time when I picked up the phone or sent an e-mail that the member on the other end wasn’t willing to help the cause.
So lets all take a bow.
