Landscapes: Honorable Mention 2019 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
As I stare at the magnificence before me, I can almost imagine the native Americans who passed through. These monuments have witnessed the rise and fall of Hopi, the Mojave, the Havasupai, and the Navajo Nation. All put down their roots and eventually move on. What secrets do they protect, what wonders have they witnessed? As I watch the morning light arrive in all its infinite glory I can't but help think about these...legends of the land.
AUTHOR
Photography is the art of capturing what you see and feel. I believe that with a true work of art, a piece of my soul and essence is reflected in the picture. If that magic I saw when I pressed the shutter survived the transfer to a digital form and survived the transfer to a print which moves my audience, that is something precious and rare”.
