I am thrilled to announce the results of the Nickelodeon Parents'Picks Awards!   This contest was a testament to the power of cyber marketing and social networking.

"The good word about my photography even reached my close friends & family down in São Paulo, Brasil and reached the other side of the planet in Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan. I hope that you had a chance to review my portfolio and find that my photography work had a little bit to do with the award as well ;)"
