Color Wash Honored in Nature's Best Photography Awards





I am very proud to announce that my Image, Color Wash, was selected as the top photograph in the Art in Nature category of the 2012 Nature's Best Windland Smith Rice International Awards. The category winning photographs were selected from nearly 20,000 images from photographers in 46 countries. All 15 category winners and a selection of Highly Honored winners will be displayed in the annual exhibition at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington DC opening in June of 2013. This is the second time I have had a winning image in the Windland Smith Rice Awards. In 2008 Lunar Eclipse Over Mt. Shasta won in the Creative Digital category.

 

 

New Website for Outdoor Exposure Photo

After many years of faithful service and providing a home for my images on the Internet, it was time to do a bit of remodeling and upgrade the old site. The new site is cleaner and easier to use and I think it looks great. Best of all is that it allows for my images to be viewed big and sharp!

Please come visit the new www.OutdoorExposurePhoto.com and take a tour around. If you have anything about the new site you'd like to share you can reply to this email or use the contact form on the site.
 
For the past decade my websites have been built and managed by the wonderful people at DotComJungle. I highly recommend them!
