Although I’ve practiced my Oscar acceptance speech in the bathroom mirror a thousand times (”I can’t believe I’m the first one on stage to thank the Weinsteins”) I am fairly certain that this blog entry is as close as I’ll ever come to actually delivering that kind of speech to an audience.

For geeks like us, the Webby Awards are our version of the Academy Awards. This week texturemedia was honored to have two of the websites we produced win People’s Voice awards for the Webbys. Pentax Photo Gallery won in the Best Use of Photography category and King Tut won in the Events category. A third website, Politics West was an Honoree in the Politics category.

We are delighted to have clients like Pentax, AEG and the Denver Post that give us the opportunity to do really exciting work.

And in the case of Pentax Photo Gallery, we are also delighted to have an enthusiastic community of Pentax photographers who have contributed their art to make the site so visually rich.

It has taken hundreds of hours of work done by dozens of people to create these sites. I am certainly honored to be working among a group of hooligans as talented and dedicated as the bunch here at texturemedia.

I can hear the music playing. I think they’re pulling me offstage.

I’ll see you at the Vanity Fair party.
