on sunday 4/20/08 i participated in one of the craziest contests..... the 4th south beach photomarathon by fotomission.org.

basically, i was among 104 other photographers that were given 6 topics to shoot. we were given the topics 2 at a time, at different locations on south beach, with about 1.5 hours to complete each pair. the categories were: green, wild, refreshing, hot, style & only in south beach... in that order. and we were only allowed to submit 4 photos of each topic straight off the digital card at the end of the day.

i won first place for the style category, and honorable mention for the hot category.

thanks to everyone who let me take their photograph, especially, the most helpful "stylish" salesperson, luki, on lincoln road, and my officially "hot" buddy, german... for being at the right place at the right time!

these photos will also be a part of my "i love miami 365" daily photo documentary project.
