My entries in the 2011 International Garden Photographer of the Year Competition made it through the final round of judging. My entry in the "Trees" category was awarded 2nd place, and my Portfolio entry was Commended. My winning entry was exhibited at the Royal Botanic Gardensin Kew, England in 2011 and the New York Botanic Garden in 2012. A book, which included all finalist, commended and highly commended photographs was published to coincide with the exhibitions.

Visit the University Center of Lake County to see the State of Illinois public Art-In-Architecture commision that I completed in 2009. It consists of 12 large format phase-change photographs of Lake County landscapes. Read about it in this article:
