2009_02_18_IPPA Student Best of Photography
ISBOP is a photography contest between all the Illinois students and interns within the photojournalism community. Each year the IPPA, Illinois Press Photographers Association, gets together at some exotic locale (last year was Champaign, IL this year is Madison, WI) to discuss photography, listen to speakers, judge the contest entries, and of course have a much needed get together party.
I just sent off my disk of images shortly before the already extended deadline to get your entries into the mail. This will only be the second ISBOP competition that I have entered but I feel that I learned a lot from my last years entries and I am pretty happy with what I will be showing this year.
I entered the maximum 20 entries including a photo story entry. This year I am also entering into the student portfolio of the year competition, why not.
After gathering what I thought were my best images and editing those down to just 20 entries I know I still forgot some and overlooked a diamond in the rough here or there that I will stumble upon while looking through my archives sometime in the future. The process of having a few friends share my screen using Mac's Leopard operating system helped out a lot as they went through all my images that I had up and could talk directly to me while reviewing the images. It was just like looking over images being only feet away instead of hundreds of miles. I hope that the images that I sent are a pretty good representation of my 2008 year in work, and I am excited to hopefully be able to make it up to the conference at Madison in late March.
Either way, I figured I would share the images that I sent off to the competition here on my blog and get any feedback you have to offer. I know there are a couple that I had a hard time leaving in there, but the images meant something to me and the way that I shoot.
Thanks for looking,
Brad Vest
I'll start out with the sports photos. Here's what I entered in the sports action category and the sports features category.
Sports Action—spa—A photograph that captures
the competitive spirit; peak action.
Sports Feature—spf—A photograph that increases understanding and appreciation for individual and team sports or celebrates the role athletics play in the lives of amateur and/or professional athletes and fans.

At the beginning of my time here at the P-I, which only feels like yesterday, I had the opportunity to work on one of my favorite assignments of my entire time with the paper. I turned the regular daily assignment into a little story for my portfolio.
This is the final piece of my 2008 portfolio. I hope you enjoyed the images and as I said, I'd love to hear opinions and thoughts about the images that I have posted here.
2008 went quickly. Here's to a fantastic 2009.
Cheers,
Brad Vest

Here are my single, editorial, non sports images. Choosing portfolio images is one of the toughest things for photographers. There are images that mean a lot more to me emotionally so I feel more attached to them even though they're not my best images, those are the hardest cut out. I was fortunate enough to have members of the P-I staff look over my images many times and it has helped me imensly in narrowing down my final pics. Of course, no matter who you show your portfolio to, even if the first person loves every single image there will be people who just hate them. It's tough, but for now here are my single images in my short 3 year photojournalism career so far.
Again, any criticism and comments are extremely welcome.
Thanks for looking.

Since it's the end of 2008 and the end of my time here at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. I figured I would throw up my current portfolio, as it stands now at the end of 2008. Note, these all were not shot in 2008 this is my complete portfolio. I figure it will be nice to look back at this and see how much it changes come 2009, 10, and so on. I'll split each section into different posts so it's easy to follow and separate out the different sections.
I think I have improved quite a bit this year and the Post-Intelligencer has been a huge part of that. I'll continue to wok on improving every aspect of my work in 2009 and we'll see where it leads.
Today is my last day of interning at the P-I. It's been a fantastic experience and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I've grown as a photographer and a human being by being around such an amazing staff of photographers, editors, and writers. It'll be hard not coming through the P-I doors anymore to grab assignments that took me all over this wonderful city and parts of this state. I'll miss so much of my experience here and most of all the wonderful people I had the opportunity to work with each day.
In a few days I'll be leaving this amazing place and heading home to visit with my family and friends in Illinois for a little more than a week. Then I am off to my next internship in quite a different place than Seattle Washington, Hutchinson Kansas. I'll be working for Hutchinson News, a smaller 30k circulation paper in Hutchinson which is pretty much in the center of Kansas. It's sort of strange right now only staying in towns for 4 months at a time before moving onto the next opportunity. However, I enjoy the challenges that come with change and all the opportunities that follow closely behind.
Thanks to everyone at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, you made my first internship an amazing and unforgettable experience.
I'll post the portfolio in a few different blogs. Here are my sports images. It's a little long and I'll probably cut a few here or there depending on who I would be sending the portfolio to.
Best,
And have a great New Year.
