On August 12h I received news from the International Photography Awards that I had made it through Round 2 of the judging and so have received at least an "Honorable Mention" in the Architectural Photographer of the Year Award. My photograph, "Marshall County Courthouse" will be the cover image on my new book, "Harker's Iowa Courthouses" which will be released in late October.

The final round of judging takes place today - if I place 1st, 2nd or 3rd, I get to attend the award ceremony at Lincoln Center in New York City on Monday, October 19th, for a chance to win a "Lucie" and $10,000 cash for International Photographer of the Year.
