I am excited to announce that my 'Extraordinary Trees' series took 3rd Place in the 'Trees' category in the prestigious 2008 Prix de la Photographie, Paris competition. Px3 is juried by top international decision-makers in the photography industry, who selected 2008’s winners from thousands of photography entries from over 85 countries. You can find my winning series here.

The "Prix de la Photographie, Paris" (Px3) strives to promote the appreciation of photography, to discover emerging talent, and introduce photographers from around the world to the artistic community of Paris. Winning entries from each major category are exhibited in Paris at the prestigious Galerie Acte 2 from June 26-28 and published in the high-quality, full-color Px3 Annual Book, which is distributed to galleries, agencies, publishers and bookstores worldwide.

I’m delighted to announce that my photograph of Bridalveil Falls received Honorable Mention in Yosemite Renaissance XXIII. This 24th annual juried exhibit received in 2008 close to 500 entries, yet only thirty-four artists were selected to exhibit. It's a great honor to have my photograph exhibited in Yosemite Valley along with so many other superb interpretations of the incomparable Yosemite.

This exhibit will remain on display at the Yosemite Museum Gallery from through May 2008. Be sure to swing by after your visit to the Ansel Adams Gallery (just next door).
