Just got January issue of Popular Photography and there are two photographs
out of the 55 represented done by a photographer using an OM 1 and an OM 2.
Both were done by the same person, Joshua Grenrock from Studio City,
California and both were done in black & white. There were 67,000 entries,
55 winners and 33 were shot on film. Of the 33 film based winners, only six
were traditional b & w. I'd say this was a spectacular showing by Joshua
Grenrock and a decent one by Olympus OM.
I wonder if any folks from the list submitted entries? We have all seen the
work of list members and there are many who have photographs which rival the
winners in this years' competition. It would be nice to see us, as a group,
make a concerted effort to enter this competition next year and see what kind
of presence we could make for OM users. I'd be interested in seeing
responses that might support such a challenge and also from hearing from
folks who did enter.
