Welcome Hive account@zipporah!

Zippy is going to be the guest judge this week for the contest. She is an amazing photography that I have been following since I joined here on Steemit. Her Burning Man images were some of the first photos that I had seen of her work and I became an instant fan.

I asked her to prepare a short bio about herself for everyone here and this is what she wanted to share with everyone:

Zippy Lomax has spent her lifetime telling stories, using the magic of photography to archive ephemeral moments and gather illuminated details – to quite literally, 'write with light.' Globally, Zippy is most well-known for her intimate festival photography which focuses primarily on 'participant experience.'

With more than a decade of experience and a marked strength for portraiture, she's earned a modest following, resulting in overwhelming support for her recently crowd-funded, self-published photo-book, Dusty Playground – featuring the children of Burning Man. To see more check out her personal website.

I am looking forward to having Hive account@zipporah be a part of the team for the photo contests. It is nice to have an awesome photographer be a part of the team. I hope that you all take the time to welcome her to the contest. Thank you all for the support. If you aren't following her yet, you are really missing out. Hop on over to her page and show her some support.
