Last night I received an email. From the pop up notification I saw the title Your WPPI Result . I can’t wait any longer to click and I did, immediately.
To my greatest surprise, 1 out of 3 photos that I have submitted to WPPI first-half 8×10 print competition has actually awarded Accolade of Excellence in Engagement category and that is totally awesome! I was thrilled and still is now. I couldn’t sleep he whole night and was up on twitter shouting. By the way, the other 2 photos had score some good points too. Just a little more to be awarded. :) It is a great experience for me as a first timer. I learn and I progress, and I will improve! That was my intention initially, and I wasn’t expect any awards or name mention. But the grace of God shower upon and I don’t think anyone can deny or reject it!
I want to take this opportunity to thank my clients who have been supporting me; my family who showers me with unending love; my beloved Sharon who always stand by me; leaders of my church for molding me and my industrial peers who encourage, motivate and inspire! Guys you know who you are :D Of course, God, if not by your grace.
I also want to express my heartiest congratulation to Shen won 1st place in Wedding Photojournalism category, Louis won 2nd place in Non-wedding photojournalism category, Jenny won 3rd in Bride and Groom Together category. If you have yet to see it clearly, YES! Malaysian has bagged 1st, 2nd and 3rd placing in this time round WPPI 8X10 print competition at different category! I am so proud of being in this. Not forgetting to mention as well, Kenneth of CMgallery has 4 Accolades of Excellent (and that makes up total 31 awards CMgallery has won! Bravo) and Qippy has got 5 Accolades of Excellent too. Now, who am I missing here? Do tell me!
ps: Found out that Malcom has got an Accolade of Excellence, so is Fiona as well. And I heard Clement Lee being mentioned but haven’t know what he had won. But hey, congratulations!
Winning is nice. Winning together is so much nicer! – Louis Pang
Here is the photo awarded Accolade of Excellence. It was among the very early first few couples that I shot, dear friend of mine, Jill & Yipp. Awesome couple.

This is my first award and it happen to be on international stage! I am blessed.
