2023 Q3 Photo Essay

Khai Le

RoSS FRANKLIN, Quarter 3 Judge

First Place: Nice drone work and the couple holding hands is such a great image.

Second Place: Again, nice variety of image, including various time of day timeline

Third Place: Variety of images helps this story.  Working and at home access helps this story’s scope.

HM1: Good story-telling images for this quick hit story.  Photog work at getting as much out of this as possible.

HM2: Maybe too many images of Joshua Trees, but there is enough here to warrant an HM.  Joshua Tree 06 is nice with side lighting.  Unsure of ending image of tortoise, especially with vehicle in frame.


First Place: david swanson, Agence France Presse

Third place: GINA FERAZZI, LOS ANGELES TIMES


HM: Brandon Richardson, Long Beach Post
