PDN Photo Annual 2010

The votes are in and the jury is out. The 2010 PDN Photo Annual is in the mail and live over at PDN online. Go check it out here. My fav category this year was the books. My least fav was the advertising. Go figure.

Overall some really great work. I’m especially excited about books by Martin Parr, Mario Giacomelli. The shot above from Ambroise Tezenas also caught my eye in an initial buzz through the stuff. China now open for “disaster tourism”.

Spend some time clicking through the stuff and pickup the issue. It’s worthwhile. Additional call outs for winners of Marty Forscher Fellowship to Walter Astrada and Kayana Szymczak; Arnold Newman Prize winner Emily Schiffer.

If, in your perusing the award site, you stumble upon a SanDisk New Zealand campaign that scored in the Advertising category, and The Best Camera Is The One That’s With You, that earned a fist bump in the Photo Book category…you should assume that both awards were given out purely on a sympathy basis.
