Two images at 311 Gallery in Raleigh

I was recently notified that the 311 Gallery in Raleigh, North Carolina has selected two of my images for its Abstracts Mattter Juried Show. I'm especially pleased because neither image had been in an exhibit yet. I took Main Street, Anderson, Texas just last month in rural Texas and Blizzard Disorientation is a re-processing of a photo from last year.

"Steam at the Springs" awarded Honorable Mention

My image Steam at the Springs was awarded Honorable Mention at the Conroe (TX) Art League Show last week. It was only one of two photographs to win an award in this multi-media show. The image was a pure luck shot that I saw when I was delayed traveling home by a blizzard near Pagosa Springs, COlorado. The next morning was about zero so the steam was rising. I did almost no touch-up to the shot.
