Judges Comments

We judged the photos before a local photojournalist association (PPAGLA) meet-up, and as they arrived, several photojournalists looked over our shoulders and commented. Sarahi, Ted, and I had the final word. Among them were Ringo Chiu, Nick Ut, John McCoy, and a handful of local college photojournalists.

Judges: Thomas R. Cordova/Long Beach Post, Sarahi Apaez/freelance, Ted Soqui/freelance
