| Satpreet Kahlon, PIEA Honorable Mention Portfolio |
It must be the bright green wall in our apartment or something, because my roommate, Satpreet, and I both won during this year's PIEA international photo contest. We're the only winners from Michigan State this year, which makes it even more bizarre. The poetic bit is that I wouldn't have entered if it weren't for Satpreet's mentioning the contest to me. She was very confident I would win something.
Satpreet received an Honorable Mention for her entire portfolio, of which she submitted a lot (a lot). Her portfolio is amazing, and here are a few sample of a series she did with the view camera.

Our professor had actually been looking for Satpreet to tell he she'd won, but he found himself in my class instead. When he said she won, I literally jumped out of my chair to hear more details. Then he told me I'd won too. First Prize in the Digital Construction category.

This morning I found out I also won a Gold ADDY in the mid-Michigan ADDY Awards for a series I had done that was directly inspired by the image that won me the PIEA First Prize. The series I turned in for my Color Photography class and included the piece the original for the assignment.

The original and the new series are similar, but I do think they are distinct enough that for an exhibition I would not show them together. I feel the original is a great stand-alone piece, but the new series does work best as a series. Except the first one I show here, I do feel could stand alone.
