Need Your Vote!

best of

Friends,

The Colorado Springs Independent is accepting votes now for their 16th Annual Best Of edition.  It’s two enormous editions of our favorite paper that includes the BEST of everything in this little metropolis we call Colorado Springs.  Low and behold, “photographer” is one of the categories! RTP hasn’t been quite big enough to compete in the last couple of years, but I think this year we really have a shot! A win like this could really put us on the map. That category is located in the last section, Making Noise.  Scroll to the bottom, and “photographer” is in the right-hand column.

*** Voting must be COMPLETED by this MONDAY, AUGUST 31ST @ 5 P.M.

Click here to vote! And make sure you vote in at LEAST 10 CATEGORIES or else your vote wont count. :(  If you don’t live in Springs, you can still vote!  Here are a few recommendations in the Making Noise section:

1. Tourist Destination: Garden of the Gods
2. Artwork on the Street: The giant engagement ring
3. Artist: Rene Tate :) (Hey, why not try to sweep two categories?)
4. Place to See Emerging Artists: The BAC
5. Movie Theater: Kimball’s
*6. Photographer: Rene Tate Photography
7. Higher Education: UCCS – University of Colorado at Colorado Springs
8. Colorado Springs Claim to SHAME: Ted Haggard
9. Colorado Springs Claim to Fame: A Christian Mecca
10. Place to Get Your Hippie On: Manitou Springs

Here’s goes nothin’!  Thank you to all the folks who’ve been responding to my Twitter and Facebook announcements.  I think we have a chance! But, please, you can vote however you like…. :)

Tell me that doesn’t make you laugh??

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story
