Kentucky – Film Road Trip

Honored to be Recognized

I have been a member of the North American Travel Journalists Association since 2016, and am honored to be recognized again this year, this time for an image featured on Film Road Trip. This image was taken at Buffalo Trace Distillery in April of 2018, shot on the Mamiya 645 Pro TL with the Mamiya 80mm f/1.9 lens on Fuji Pro 400H film. Many thanks to the judges and please take some time to admire the work of all those receiving awards and recognition on the NATJA website.

The road took us to Lexington, Kentucky for the Spring Meet at Keeneland, featuring the Maker’s 46 Mile. The Maker’s 46 Mile is a one-mile race for four year-olds up on turf, and was held on April 13, 2018. Keeneland is known for great horses.
