CENTER Award

Very pleased to report I'm runner-up in CENTER's Curator's Choice Award this year. Thanks a million to juror Malcolm Daniel and CENTER Executive Director Laura Pressley.

My shoot is imminent

I'm in the late planning stages here. Installation in Novato, CA starts Friday. We shoot Saturday. I think I have everything I need, except for the lightweight fence posts, the tent stakes and a few buckets of sunscreen. Also I'll require wind. Gusts around 15 mph please.

The National: Best Contemporary Photography 2014

March 29 - June 15, 2014
Fort Wayne Museum of Art, Fort Wayne, IN

I've got two pieces in the show: Cheese Balls and Cups no. 2, both at 30"x38", ed. of 9.

"The National" at The Fort Wayne Museum of Art

Winning may be everything, but I couldn't be in better company down there in the "Juror's Merit Award" category of this photography show/competition at The Fort Wayne Museum of Art in Indiana, running now to June 15, 2014. I'd been admiring Marcus DeSieno's microscopic portraits just recently, as he and I are also in this show, but Scott Dalton's very powerful documentary work is new to me (documentary photography know-nothing that I am), as are Annie Laurie Erickson's ghostly, nighttime images of Louisiana oil refineries, which she shoots, furtively, with a mysterious device she calls an "afterimaging camera."
