Welcome! In this area of my site, I post items of note and/or interest and sometimes just from just plain ecstatic exuberance - such as the announcement of winning a photographic Award or Honor. Hopefully over time there will be lots of entries here. I'm trying my little heart out!!!

Post Filter Photo Festival thoughts.

I met so many wonderful people - Photography Gallery and Photography Museum owners - and great professional photographers throughout the actual four day event. Overall, my work "One Exposure" garnered reactions such as 'peaceful', 'serene', 'evoking a great sense of warmth and calmness', 'reminiscent of many a beach visit' and a 'pleasure to view'. I received many valuable suggestions as to which markets should embrace my work. I am excited to pursue them over the next days and weeks to come. What an unbelievable experience.
 


Filter Photo Festival 2015, Chicago, IL

Getting on a jet plane Wednesday, Sep 24 and heading for Chicago. I am taking my most recent body of work titled "One Exposure". Please see this folio on my home page under "Portfolios".  Planning on meeting with several nationally known and recognized Photography Gallerists, Museum Curators, Photo Editors and Book Publishers. These 'Portfolio Reviews' are held at various times around this country and in Europe every year. Participants (yours truly) sign up for face-to-face reviews and receive candid advice about their work, as well as information on getting their photographs exhibited in galleries and museums and/or published. What a phenomenal way to make the process of showing one's art to gallerists so much easier than flying to separate cities around the country for individual meetings. This is going to be great fun!
