HI Travel Tales wins multiple travel photography awards

Therese Iknoian’s photo in the Museum of Islamic Arts in Doha, Qatar, was selected as a finalist in the prestigious California State Fair Photography/Fine Arts exhibit. That meant the photo was among the top 6 percent of all nearly 1,800 entrants. It was displayed in the Fine Arts hall during the month-long run of the State Fair in Sacramento, Calif.

In the Nevada County Fair in Northern California, both Therese Iknoian and Michael Hodgson came away with two awards for a total of four for HI Travel Tales:

Therese’s photo of performer and mustang trainer Bobbie Kerr at the 2018 Draft Horse Classic won a Best of Division and a blue ribbon.

Both Therese and Michael won second place ribbons: In the People division (color), Therese took a second place for her photo of a fisherman mending nets at sunrise in Essaouira, Morocco, which she took on a travel photography tour; Michael won a second place in the Landscape division (color) for a night photo from Niagara Falls illuminated.

And Michael’s photo of Therese petting a horse at the Draft Horse Classic won a third place in the color Draft Horse classic division.

What fun to see your photos framed and hanging in an exhibit AND to win travel photography awards!
