“In an era when large prints, really large prints, are in vogue, there is still a group of photographers who enjoy the discipline of creating small masterpieces.”  To afford them a measure of recognition, Soho Photo is continuing its Annual National Small Works Competition in February, 2012. The Competition has no limit as to subject matter or technique, but the finished print size cannot be larger than 6 inches in each direction.

The juror for the this year’s Small Works Competition is Karen Marks. Karen, whose vast experience includes selling photographs for some of the most prestigious photography galleries, is currently the Exhibitions Director of the Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York City.”

This piece ”Crossroads” is from the new Surveillance Series has been included in this show.

Recently, I returned from beautiful Argentina where I was selected to be in an international exhibition in Buenos Aires. Upon arriving in Argentina, I first spent several days at Iquazu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil where the Falls divide into numerous spectacular separate waterfalls and cataracts.  This is an enormous national park, with acres of nature walkways where one encounters the South American Coati with their babies (similar to raccoons, pointed snouts, ringed tails but without the mask) crossing the paths as well as monkeys and exotic birds in the treetops. I stayed in a small jungle hotel, waking to fantastic bird calls every morning.  I then flew to Buenos Aires which is a very European city, with wide tree lined boulevards, many parks and museums and lovely old classical architecture along with newer modern buildings.

The Biennale of Fine Art and Documentary Photography opened on Jan. 19, 2012, and was held in the Galerias Pacifico, a gorgeous Beaux Art Building modeled after Le Bon Marche in Paris.  It is now an upscale mall with murals on the ceiling, fountains, and expensive shops.  Within this building is the Jorge Luis Borges Cultural Centre that has two wonderful large gallery spaces on the second floor.  The well juried, high quality, international exhibition was comprised of professional work varied and evocative.  Two of my images from the series, “The Trouble with Birds” were awarded 1st and 2nd place awards.

The work will be auctioned off to benefit UNICEF before the show closes on Feb. 15th.

Opening reception December 2, 2011 from 6-9 PM
The Center for Fine Art Photography in Fort Collins, Colorado.

Aline Smithson, the juror for the Dreams exhibition at The Center for Fine Art Photography, defines a dream as, “a personal goal, a life fantasy, a desire, and an ethereal scramble of ideas and imagery ripe for interpretation.” The 62 works selected by her in this exhibition illustrate these themes extensively from the otherworldly and surreal to amplified moments of daily routine. Images that encourage us to question where we’ve come from, where we’re going, and what role our dreams play in understanding ourselves.

My photograph, “Ladder at 15,000 Feet” taken at Mont Blanc, France was selected.

This same image received a Bronze Award from the International Loupe Awards for 2011.

Juror Debra Klomp Ching has selected the same image, “Ladder at 15,000 Feet” for First Place in the Places Category in PWP’s International Women’s Juried Exhibition. The image will be in a group show at Manhattan’s .NO Gallery in May, an online exhibition, and will appear in a feature article in the January issue of PWP’s IMPRINTS Magazine.

My work is included in the “Center Forward” exhibition that runs from April 29-June 11, 2011. The Center for Fine Art Photography always has wonderful and stimulating  exhibitions-if anyone is in the area, please stop by and you won’t be disappointed with any of their shows! The image included in this show is from a new series called “Edible Botanicals” which focuses on food as a world wide scarcity.  It is a work in progress and will include images of soil and water, topics of concern for raising food and supporting populations.  This particular image is of “Bitter Melon,” a vegetable I was not familar with, but I found the warty, textured skin fascinating.

One Life selected me as one of the top 100 international photographers.

One Life is an international call for photography that delves into the lives of the global community. Artists Wanted and PDN Magazine have partnered to bring photographers together to submit images illustrating their lives, loves and passions. The world is changing, but the power of images is constant. Photography allows us to transcend barriers and demonstrate that, with all our differences, we are one community, one world, One Life.

Women In Photography International will have a booth at photo la +artLA Projects 2011 from Jan. 13-17, 2011. My photograph “Little Eve” will be included in the show.
