Russell Klika is making some waves with his photography, as I knew he would. The first photo of his that I posted has won an award.

His photo was the winner of the Portrait Personality division of the Visual Information Awards Program.

The Visual Information Awards Program is designed to recognize, reward, and promote excellence among military photographers, videographers, journalists and graphic artists for their achievements in furthering the objectives of military photography, videography, and graphic arts as a command information and documentation media within the military.

His winning photo and those of the other winners are available at Defense Information School website. Since I like his photo best, I’ve posted it again here.

The competitions are open to enlisted active duty, reserve, and National Guard personnel of all the armed services, including the Coast Guard, holding the occupational specialty code (MOS, NEC, or AFSC) of graphic illustrator, photographer, journalist, photojournalist, videographer, mass communicator or equivalent.

All materials were produced between 1 Jan 06 and 31 Dec 06.
