Just got January issue of Popular Photography and there are two
photographs out of the 55 represented done by a photographer using
an OM 1 and an OM 2. Both were done by the same person, Joshua
Grenrock from Studio City, California and both were done in black &
white. There were 67,000 entries, 55 winners and 33 were shot on
film. Of the 33 film based winners, only six were traditional b &
w. I'd say this was a spectacular showing by Joshua Grenrock and a
decent one by Olympus OM.
I wonder if any folks from the list submitted entries? We have all
seen the work of list members and there are many who have
photographs which rival the winners in this years' competition. It
would be nice to see us, as a group, make a concerted effort to
enter this competition next year and see what kind of presence we
could make for OM users. I'd be interested in seeing responses that
might support such a challenge and also from hearing from folks who
did enter.
I have not seen the issue yet, but Joshua Grenrock has a business site:

He does not mention Olympus. :-(
