Holgapalooza Winners Announced

After weeks of eager anticipation, the winners of the 2009 Holgapalooza competition was announced today!

Amazingly I won first place in the Holgaroid category, and am humbled and excited by this honor (what I really want to say is ZOMG!).

The winning photos will be revealed in Issue 16 of Light Leaks Magazine due out in early 2010, so we’ll have to wait to see what was selected.
