If you’re a fan of our blog, then chances are you’re friends with Rich on Facebook. And if that is the case, then you’ve probably seen Rich’s ongoing personal project, a photo a day of our son Tyler. One photo that got a lot of attention on Facebook was a shot of Tyler zooming down a Wegmans supermarket aisle in his stroller. Back in February of 2011, Rich decided to submit the shot to Popular Photography magazine for their monthly “Your Best Shot” contest. In March, he was contacted by Popular Photography and told that the shot was a finalist for the contest. Unfortunately, the shot was not picked as a winner. In July, Popular Photography contacted Rich and informed him that the shot had been pulled from the contest because they wanted to use it for an article instead.
The article can be found in the September 2012 issue of Popular Photography on Pages 50 & 51. As a photographer, it is exciting to be featured in the largest photography magazine in publication, but what we find even cooler is the fact that Tyler’s picture is featured.
Here’s a copy of the newstand issue cover art.
