I’ve had some honorable mentions, but this was the first time I’ve placed in a contest. I shared these individually on my FB page a couple of days ago, but here’s a proper post with them all together.

The first continues to be my most successful image.

The second was made in L.A. from the revolving lounge atop a hotel. I love the layers and colors and this is the second time it’s been on display in Texas.

The third one was years in the making. I’d asked my friend Scott to sit for me 4.5 years ago after the workshop and we finally found the time to make it happen.

Thank you to everyone who was involved in helping me make these images and thank you to the Dewitt County Shutterbugs for liking my work : )

Found out that the following image was a finalist, so top 5, in the recent London Photo Show.

Below are some stills of the show. Mine is the far right photo in the left-most thumbnail below.

 

I also received word today that I’ve placed in the DeWitt County Shutterbug Annual Contest in Texas: 3rd place for black and white, 3rd place for landscape, and 3rd place for portrait. They’ll be making an exhibition and posting online in a week or so. I’ll share the images once I know which photos placed.

 

…to back on the wall. While it did not place, this image will be on display at Praxis Gallery in Minnesota. It is always gratifying to have a chance to display work in a physical space in a physical way.

Thanks to Ty and Abby for their time and energy : )

My paying job is nuclear medicine at a local hospital. Basically I use very big cameras to make pictures with radio-isotopes. Put nuclear in front of anything and it sounds important.

Nuclear dog food.

See? Seems important.

We have students at the hospital and I’ve been fortunate to meet many of these people. A few of them have even been kind enough to sit for me after they’ve graduated. One of the benefits of photographing former students is that we’ve had the better part of a year to get to know each other and stronger relationships always make for stronger photos.

Snapped this on the way to work a year or two ago. Who doesn’t love a good sunrise / sunset? Hope they like it in Berlin.

Scott and I had been talking about doing a shoot centered around his sculpting since I’d gotten back from France in the fall of 2015. We finally got it together and it was worth the wait. His studio had great lighting and since he’s an (amazing) artist we spoke a similar language and both enjoyed the creative process. See more of them in the Public Galleries

I received notice that two more images will appear in upcoming shows in digital form, one in Italy and one in Australia.

Also here is a screen shot from a video of the event in Spain last weekend. My photo is in the lower left, the first to appear in physical print at a GuruShots Exhibition.

Thanks go to Gina, Amelia, and Ty : )

My underwater series was awarded an honorable mention at the LICC for 2019 (the Submission was in the fall of 2019).

Thank you to Alex, Alisondra, Amelia, Audri, Gina, and Ty.
