Landscapes: Honorable Mention 2017 (amateur)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Half Dome. Yosemite National Park.
This was captured during my first visit to Yosemite. I remember observing Half Dome for what seemed like an eternity. To finally experience this landmark in person exceeded my expectations.
My collective body of work reflects a personal spiritual fascination of the world around us through all of its patterns, forms, and textures. These observations and candid moments of time have crossed over many genres and styles including landscape, nature, street photography, and portraiture. A common theme throughout is that beauty can truly be found everywhere, particularly in the smallest details and in nature’s most fleeting moments. I aspire to create timeless memories and a sense of serene tranquility out of these often overlooked scenes, inviting the viewer to reflect and see the beauty emerge.
AUTHOR
My passion for photography began nearly 25 years ago in my hometown of New Orleans. It was there that I first picked up my father’s old Nikon and began learning how to use it. This curiosity evolved into a formal education in the arts when I moved west to Los Angeles where I studied and earned a degree in photography from USC. Although it never became a full time pursuit, I continually cultivated my passion for photography gaining inspiration from some of the medium’s great masters.
Until recently, I have not publicly exhibited my work deciding to keep my passion a personal one. However, since 2016 I happily began exhibiting my photographs and am humbled to have been a part of numerous shows, exhibitions and privately held collections. Highlights include multiple shows and catalogues at Apero Gallery in Fullerton, Beyond the Lines Gallery in Santa Monica, Dab Art in Ventura, as well as online exhibitions with Lenscratch and LA Photo Curator. Additionally, I have been a featured artist several times for YourDailyPhotograph.com as well as the social pages of Adore Noir Magazine and SaveArtSpace.org
I currently reside in Pasadena, California with my wife and young son.
