My entries in the 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. Finalist images will be in the 2011 exhibition, due to open at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, England, opening on May 14th 2011. A book, which will include all finalist, commended and highly commended photograph(s) will be published to coincide with the opening of the exhibition.

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:
