I just got back from a 3 month journey to Central America and stopped by in Toronto on my way back for the News Photographers Association of Canada’s Annual National POY Gala, where I picked up an Honorable Mention for this photo I took in Rwanda last year. It’s great to be back home in Canada and I will be posting photos as soon as the insurance company cuts me a check to pick up my new gear.
