In March, commercial photographer Doug Walker was recognized by the Professional Photographers of Washington as the 2010 Commercial Photographer of the Year. Walker, an Olympia-based photographer since 1994, also received several other mentions at the award ceremony, including the second annual Kenmore Camera-Canon Honor Award for excellence in image making.

Also this year, Walker earned the Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) designation from the Professional Photographic Certification Commission.
