Excited that "Milky Way Over the Keys" is juried into the Broward Art Guild's latest exhibit featuring only art works in sized as squares. This one is 12 x 12 inches on metal and can be printed up to 30 x 30 on metal or any substrate you like. (Gallery, 3280 NE 32nd Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308, 954-537-3370)

Honored that the Plunge Beach Resort hosted the National League of American Pen Women - Fort Lauderdale Branch Board Member Exhibit. Art work from each Board member was showcased on each of the columns in the hotel lobby. For this "plungy" venue, "Awakened" was selected. Let me know if you figure out what I photographed in this abstract image that was created in camera with a little color play in Photoshop.

Opening night reception at ArtServe was a quite a fantastic celebration of photography... all style, genres. You name it, it was represented. "Rosie" garnered a lot of admirers too along with "Grace" and "Moon Over the Marsh". You can get a snippet of the excitement here, www.facebook.com/ArtServeFlorida/videos/317844253362272rve. She really looks quite stunning in pink flying across the gallery wall. Big Thanks to Sophie Bonet, main curator with support from the ArtServe team for this amazing show featuring works from 23 photographers.

If you happen to be in Fort Lauderdale this month consider taking a side trip to marvelous fine art exhibit (if I say so myself), the 20th Starving Artist Exhibit. Although, I'm not personally a fan of the title of this exhibit, I am a fan of the founder, Kosh Arini, who has worked for years to showcase the best of the best local artist. Showing now through July 31 at Broward County's main library downtown on Las Olas Blvd and Andrews, 100 S Andrews Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301, (954) 357-7444. Email me if you'd like a personal tour. Above are my three matted and framed pieces in the show.

Honored to have several pieces available thought the ENDANGERED: Art4Apes website. Thirty percent of all sales are donated to the Center for Great Apes, a United States designated 501(c)(3) charitable organization providing a permanent sanctuary for great apes in need of lifetime care. See https://www.centerforgreatapes.org/.

Images above are representative of some of my featured pieces. Honored to have my works juried into each year of the Endangered Exhibit since its inception eight years ago.

Honored that "Red-winged Black Bird Chicks" received special merit in the Light, Space and Time recent photography competition out of 895 entries from around the world. Submissions were from 29 different countries including entries from 35 different states and the district of Columbia. That places it in the top three percent. It was a special moment for me to see (thankfully with a log lens) these hungry little beings calling for their mom. Nature is so awesome.
