These are the photos that Devon entered into the Utah State Fair this year (2006). This was his first time. All the more reason to be impressed by his winning Three (!) ribbons: Two Blue and One Red.
Devon was competing in the Youth Amateur category. He is just 14 years old.
Surprise!
This image was entered into the flower category which, regardless of division, has tons of entries. The fact that it scored a red ribbon is all the more commendable!
Flower Girl
This model's name is Sarah. She was at a photographer's convention that Devon and I attended. Devon took this picture while she was posed in the corner of the building (outside) with nice natural light on her. This image was entered into the Female Portraiture category and it won a blue ribbon there.
Three Amigos
This had to be the favorite image amongst many of the friends Devon had shown this to. He was out chasing one squirrel around, when suddenly he stumbled on these three. And before they could get away, he had captured them forever in this Blue Ribbon winning photo.
