The online Contemporary Art Room Gallery posted their show “Artist’s Choice” recently and this portrait of Selah from February received a merit award.
You can try to see the entire show here. I say try because I have trouble loading their past contests, but that may just be my browsers.
The Grey Cube Gallery has monthly and sometimes twice a month themed online contests. They recently released the winners of their “Yellow” contest and I’m pleased that both of my entries received Merit Awards (First, Second, Third, Merits, Honorable Mentions, Finalists).
Both of these have an Italian flavor. “The Model of Burano” was made in Burano, Italy in September of 2018. The model was actually posing for a photographer and I just cropped him out and left her as the subject of this “street” shot.
The Lady in Yellow was made in my studio, but the glass and flask were from the Moreno Glass Factory in Venice with my model friend Gazelle Powers.

Monovisions announced their awards for the 2024 contest.
An image I made a few years ago and have rarely used because it’s not part of my grander body of underwater work received an honorable mention in the people category.

The Grey Cube Gallery posted an online show of landscapes, and my photos of Mt. Fuji and 2 Camels in Cairo both are part of the show and received a Merit Award (jointly I suppose; they’re both there but I got one certificate). Not my usual schtick, but I like the images from my travels and I’m happy to have them accepted and awarded, naturally.

One of the many online galleries I’ve found this year had an open art show posted in early May 2024. This little used gem from 2017 is on display online in the show. It’s always been a favorite but I’ve been told doesn’t really fit in my overall collection of work. Maybe true, but it deserves love too.
I was going to my friend Becky’s to do some portraits while she painted, and we had this magnificent overcast sky as I arrived. I told her to grab her pallet and brush and assume a painter’s pose. I over-edited the sky to bring out the clouds and left the rest unedited as if she hadn’t painted it yet. Fun!
I need to do more stuff like that again.

The Art Room Gallery online’s March show “Yellow” is live.
A photo I made in 2018 in Burano, Italy is part of the honorable mentions. It’s a very colorful town and as we were walking along I saw this woman posing for a photographer; they were obviously out for a shoot.

April 11th Art Fluent posted their online show “Face to Face,” a collection of portraits in various mediums.
I’m pleased to announce that this lesser seen portrait of mine is part of the show.

My series of “A” took an honorable mention at this year’s 20th International Photo Awards.
I received a call from David at the Victoria Photography Club yesterday to tell me I’d taken third place in the “People” category for “The Secret.” Always nice to place. I’m also pleased that this one was selected as I’ve thought it a fun photo since I made it in 2022 and this is the first time it’s been accepted / won someplace.
