And the nominees in the categories of Nature and Fine Art Photography include… me! It’s such an honor to be recognized by the prestigious jurors of the annual Black & White Spider Awards for the third year in a row.
I’m especially pleased that my diptych “Tributaries” was nominated in the Nature category. The diptych format allowed me to capture the experience of water flowing in all directions from the Spring snow melt in Yosemite. See the other Nature nominees along with the prize winners here.
In the Fine Art category, “Backstage Moment” from my “Danseuse” series was nominated. All nominees and winners in Fine Art can be found here.
There is some incredible work by photographers from around the world in all 16 categories, as is the case year after year… Definitely worth checking out!

“In Statu Nascendi” means “state of becoming.” With this theme, all aspects of the creative process come into play - from the act of creating the art, to sharing it and creating community. This exhibition was supported by the Local Government of Ferencváros District (Budapest Főváros IX. Kerület Ferencváros Önkormányzata).

Art Photo Index (API) is a visual index of important art and documentary photographers, their images and their websites from throughout the world. I was recently invited to take part and create a profile page.
Established in 2012, API is designed to be used as a search engine by an audience of curators, gallery directors, collectors, picture editors, publishers and others who have a serious, on-going need to view and reference interesting photographic projects and works.
The artists included in API have been selected as a result of their accomplishments in the art or documentary photography field. Many of those included have been published by major photobook publishers or serious art photography magazines. Some have received awards given by art and documentary photography organizations. Others are represented by major art photography galleries.
