2022 International Photography Awards (the IPA’s)

We were once again tapped with a couple Honorable Mentions in this years International Photography Awards. It is always such a privilege to be recognized in the company of so many great creators and in the midst of such stunning imagery!

One of the HM’s was a personal piece we just recently completed.. entitled “Practice” it is a backstage peek at a late 1800’s era tightrope walker practicing her routine, late at night in a secluded corner of the big top.

The other is a series / campaign we shot for the Newport Beach Film Festival entitled “Everyone Plays A Part” having fun with how folks, who are passionate about a certain character from a film, might start to take on that persona in the midst of everyday life… In Newport Beach of course.

Once again we are super grateful to the IPA’s and the judges for this recognition and hopefully you’ll get the opportunity to check out ALL of the winning images over at PhotoAwards.com !

COASC – Aging as Art: A Juried Photography Show

I have of course heard of the Council on Aging. What was news to me until a few months ago was that the Southern California Council on Aging has, for the past few years, had an annual photo competition entitled Aging as Art. What a fantastic theme! A friend of mine who is in healthcare forwarded a link to coasc.org and alerted me to the competition for 2022. I opted to submit one of my favorite photos from my 14 Days in Great Britain Documentary Series. As with many competitions.. I submit.. assuming nothing, and move on. To my genuine surprise, last week I was notified that my image had been awarded Second Place in the Professional Category! It is ALWAYS thrilling to be recognized, and this one was particularly rewarding because of the theme and content.

Hop over and see all of the winning images that celebrate who and what we are as we get older and wiser!
