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!!!
I have the December issue in my hands. Ta-Da!!! Two of my entries were selected for publication in this years "Single Image 2014 Competition" Please go to my Awards & Exhibitions Portfolio and see the two winning images - Tattered (3rd award for this image) and Dark Architecture #4.
Look what I received in my "in box" recently:
Congratulations! Your entry in the BLACK & WHITE Single Image Contest 2014 has been selected for a Single Image Award, which means that one (or more) of your images will be published in the Special Issue #101 of BLACK & WHITE magazine scheduled to arrive on newsstands mid-December. You can be confident your work stood out in a way that deserved this special attention. Once again, congratulations!
This is so exciting, I have never been 'published' (in print) before. Will post which photo(s) won as soon as I know.
Great news - my image "Tattered" has won a place in Delray Beach's Cornell Museum's Gallery from mid February through mid May, 2014. This image has won other awards and continues to be one of my more artistically critical pieces.
I have posted most of the images from our summer cruise to the Baltic Sea Region ports of call. Please look for "Travel" in the "Portfolios" menu list on the main page. In reviewing my work, I want to go back and spend a week in each country that we visited. You will also find new work from the trip in the Abstract, Architecture and Still Life Collections.
As of the end of August, I did not make the final cut in the International Fine Art Photography Competition/Paris, France this year. Good impetus to do better next year. Have not heard from International Color awards/The Photography Masters Cup as of early September. They have pushed back their notifications until later this month or early October.
