Title: Mitch Dobrowner wins Photog of the Year award
Post by: John E on June 07, 2012, 10:49:56 am: Just to let the community know, I came across this announcement regarding one of our esteemed members (and one of my favorite photographers):

http://www.worldphoto.org/competitions/2012-winners-announcement/

I recall the last shots he posted here in August were some of his storm series, and now he's gone and won "a major award". Good on ya', Mitch! Wonderful series.

Post by: louoates on June 12, 2012, 02:05:39 pm: Those shots were so impressive I didn't even notice they were B/W. I must also say that they are scary. I wouldn't have the courage to be out in such weather.

Pretty fantastic work for an eleven-year-old.
I think the "11" under "age" on Mitch's profile may be in error. It also lists "Date of Registration" as September something of 2006, which would make hime only a bit less than 6 years old. After all, was there really life before LuLa? :D

Post by: mitchdob on June 14, 2012, 10:55:46 am: Well, I thought about updating my profile but decided that it was nice being 6 years old again (or was it 11... I forget?). Anyway, keep an eye out for the July edition of National Geographic. Would be interested in what you think.

Thanks again to everyone for the help and support on LL.

Seriously cool stuff Mitch!

Post by: Peter McLennan on June 16, 2012, 12:40:26 pm: Mitch, if you can take time from photography, please consider a workshop. Even if it didn't involve any field work, instruction on meteorology, navigation and safety would top my list of knowledge vacancies.

Post by: NancyP on June 19, 2012, 10:10:40 am: Wow! What beautiful images, collected into a coherent set greater than sum of its parts.

I give Mitch full credit for nerve, too. My instinct on seeing a funnel cloud is to look for the nearest ditch.
