I was very honored to have 6 photographs hang and receive two ribbons at The Plaza Arts Center. I am told there were 400 entrees from 7 states. Judge Rylan Steele, Assistant Professor of Art at Columbus State University said of the entries, "The winners in the different categories were based on the handling of the camera, the observation of color and light, and the ability of the photographer to notice a moment or subject in need of being photographed. Often in photography the simplest seeming observation produces the most transcendent image."

Of course any beauty in the photograph is entirely the women I have photographed who have honored me by sharing that beauty and allowing me to attempt to record it for all time in the two dimensions of the photograph.
