And I am honored to be awarded 2 Honorable Mention in a Sports – Other Category
in the 2015 International Photography Awards (IPA) Competition for the
winning entry “fitness warrior” and “ ifly”
“Fitness warrior” was photograph using Fuji X100s. Here is a write up and video of
of how this is done. I question myself; Is X100s a commercial worthy camera? I will
let you be the judge.
