Honored to be awarded both Best in Show and Best Body of Work in this year’s international Phillips Mill Photographic Exhibition, juried by Emmet Gowin.
The exhibition was canceled for obvious reasons relating to the pandemic. A beautiful online version went live this morning, “transformed in substance, scale, and spirit.” Much praise to P.M.P.E. director Spencer Saunders and Mill committee members for their dedication in bringing the show to a global society in isolation.
I say it again, the reward of Emmet Gowin’s honor is beyond any words as he’s been a true hero of mine, both as a photographer and expressive human being rooted in lyrical language. Much gratitude to him and the P.M.P.E..
