I'm Feeling Quite Proud



Peggy's Cove and Cliff Diver of Mazatlan


As a writer it is the reader who judges us by whether they read the entire article or story or not.

But it is also nice to be recognized by our peers.

I belong to the North American Travel Journalists Association. Every year they have a awards competition and I enter a few pieces.

I just received word that I has been awarded a merit award for a story on Italy I wrote, a merit award for a photograph I took of Peggy's Cove that was published in a Nova Scotia story in the Winnipeg Free Press, as well as a first place award for a destination marketing video I did on behalf of the Winnipeg Convention Centre.

Interestingly, I won three awards last year as well. A merit award for a cruise story I wrote, a merit award for a photo I took in Mazatlan that appeared in the Winnipeg Free Press, and a first place award for a brochure I created for the same organization, the Winnipeg Convention Centre.

I will post both this years and last years photos herein, and put in the award winning Italy story tomorrow.

Congrats on the awards, Ron! You truly are a multi-talented individual!

When we were in Vegas in early Dec, the Aria and Elvis Show were not yet open. I can't wait to go back and experience it all.

Looking forward to reading more of your adventures.
