Mayors Arts Awards 2008

I got the honor of photographing these award winning artists at the beginning of the season last year and I’m finally getting to put some of the photos up on line. These photos were taken for City Arts Seattle http://www.cityartsmagazine.com/ and the Mayors Office of arts and cultural affairs. It was a pleasure to see a couple of them used on Seattle Channel during the award ceremony but the best part of all was getting to meet the outstanding artists of 2008 that received recognition for their work in the community.  For more info on the artists, the awards, and to see the final photos that were picked, please visit http://www.seattle.gov/arts/community/arts_awards.asp
