Climie Takes Best in Category in PDN’s Top Knots 06 Contest
On a whim I entered one of my favorite images of the year into the Photo District News Top Knots contest. This shot happened so quickly. I was setting up for group shots on the beach when I heard someone yell, “Look!” There was no time to think, only time to react. I got two frames before they had flown out of frame. This was the first. The formation had broken up to have nowhere near the impact of this shot by the second frame, and they were just a fraction of a second apart.
I never expected it to place, honestly. It is a popular contest that reaches worldwide. When someone called and told me I’d not only placed, but taken Best In Category, I nearly created my own news event on I-285. It is a huge honor to be singled out as best in category by this magazine. Oh, and it came with a bunch of sweet prizes.
