Well done." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad3d559e749409995336183/1523930546003-SJHSSZ1GP04OW15WOL05/Memorial+Day+taps.jpg Photography Awards Honorable Mention Feature Photo, 2015 This photo, taken by Nowicki during LeRoy, Illinois' annual Memorial Day ceremonies, features a precise and tight focus that gives a fresh look at the commonplace.

The content of the photos is relevant but it's the composition of several of the photos that makes the package great." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad3d559e749409995336183/1523985944714-09X2QQFPH5YIMMJCCWY4/Photo+Series+16+part+2.jpg Photography Awards https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ad3d559e749409995336183/1523987460377-OE6NJK8KR3HW8B0A365O/Memorial+Day+Photo+SSeries+14.jpg Photography Awards Honorable Mention Photo Series, 2014 Nowicki teamed with freelance photographer Jeff Zogg in 2014 to take an honorable mention in the photo series category, again for Memorial Day photos.
