Congratulations on this award. Even if they don’t read blogs themselves, it’s clear that they recognize people who do good work in whatever forum. I’m sorry I wasn’t able to attend – now I’m more inspired to make it to the next awards, though they’ll have to work pretty hard to match up to this year’s awardee list.

Congrats Rob, I’m angry I couldn’t make it. I’m so glad you got the award. I (and others) have been talking about your blog to people like Lou and Banafsheh (I’m assuming you met her, she is at the Griffin and also runs the Boston Photography Center) and others for a while now. You provide an insight which is rarely expressed so openly and honestly. I am not at all surprised that folks like the Griffin would act upon and express that appreciation in the way they did.

Man, that’s awesome. Good to see the advocacy you promote with an attitude more akin to “paying it forward” than “what’s in it for me” being recognized and honored outside the blogging community. The people who get it, get it. But for those who don’t but need to, this adds just a little extra touch of legitimacy. Always a good thing. Congrats Rob.

Having listened to commencement speakers this weekend giving graduates advice for the future, it seems that Rob, you must have listened when you graduated. You have followed your passion and been true to your beliefs and you have been rewarded for that.

Congrats,
