Demotix contributor recognised by Boston Press Photographers' Association

It seems like the awards for Demotix photographers are coming thick and fast these days! Today we're happy to congratulate Michael Seamans for his recognition from the Boston Press Photographers' Association in their Photo of the Year Contest.

Michael did a sterling job of covering the Republican Party's primary campaign as it moved through New England from his base in New London, New Hampshire. You can check out all of the (almost 100!) stories he's contributed to Demotix here.

Two of those photos won him both first and second place in the BPPA's Politics category this year. Hearty congratulations to Michael, and we look forward to seeing more of his work!
