- blog 88:88
Blog88:88 is the personal photoblog of Will Duncan. The project was founded not long after he discovered photography to promote shooting on a regular basis while attending East Tennessee State University. The project has led Will into a photojournalistic hobby as and onto becoming stable member of the photoblogging community with his involvement in the Pixelpost photoblog application. Blog88:88 is now used to post outtakes from personal work while he pursues a new degree in Photojournalism at Western Kentucky University.
- Judge's Comments (Deanne)
This was a tough category. We thought there were a lot of entries that had very nice pictures scattered throughout with mediocre pictures in between. Most of the entries would have placed higher if the photographers had taken out a few of the weaker pictures.
Overall we thought that Blog 88:88 had a nice, cohesive street style of shooting that fit well into this category. We thought Will Duncan’s work also was strong for the same reasons.
The Mexican pictures generally had a nice feel for light and color which the judges liked, but in terms of content and style they did not hold up to the other two.
