10th Fine Art Photography Awards

10th Fine Art Photography Awards

I am delighted to announce that the second juried photography contest I entered—the 10th Annual Fine Art Photography Awards—also decided to feature my photography. That’s two for two!

I entered a series of five photographs, all taken in the Sexten Dolomites, in South Tyrol, Italy. This was an international competition, with likely tens of thousands of entries. My work was awarded a Nominee status, which means the series was considered for the top prize in the amateur landscape category.

The five photographs awarded (below) are available as limited edition prints, each in three sizes. Click an image for more information:

Thanks for your time and attention, both are valuable. 🙏🏻
I invite you to view my photographs and paintings, and to learn more about me.

Wonder: An Exhibit at the Center for Fine Art Photography

Wonder: An Exhibit at the Center for Fine Art Photography

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s … SUPER CONFUSING?! At least, that’s what I’ve heard from many people; they can’t figure out what this photo is of (more on that below). That’s one reason why it’s wonderful: it grabs your brain and won’t let go.

Selected for exhibit

Douglas McCulloh—the Senior Curator and Interim Executive Director of the California Museum of Photography—apparently thought so, too. He selected my photograph for inclusion in a show titled Wonder, which McCulloh juried.

Needless to say, I’m chuffed. Not only was this the first juried exhibit I entered, but only 60 works by 55 artists were selected, out of likely thousands of entries. I am grateful to both Mr. McCulloh and the Center for Fine Art Photography.

So what is it?

Some viewers have wondered if this photo is of:

  • coconuts
  • hanging balls of yarn
  • lamps
  • and even South American animals called capybaras

TWO unrelated people actually thought that last one!

But no, this photo, titled Reflecting on the Alpsee, is actually of mounds of dried wetland reeds and grasses on an alpine lake, just below Schwangau Castle in Bavaria, Germany.

With its curious appearance and trippy, colorful reflections (look closely in the dark water’s surface), this photograph draws attention, and begs further examination. It’s a world to get lost in.

Purchase it here

Reflecting on the Alpsee is available as a limited edition print in three sizes.
