Hurricane Ike Portfolio Featured in Two Prestigious International Publications

I am happy to announce that my photographic portfolio Hurricane Ike: Images from the Debris Field, has been selected to be featured in two prestigious international publications this fall.

On October 1, twenty photographs from the series were featured in the current issue of F-Stop Magazine (Issue #49 – October/November 2011), an online magazine showcasing contemporary photography from emerging and contemporary photographers worldwide. The photographs were selected to be part of F-Stop’s annual portfolio issue.

In addition, the portfolio has also been selected for inclusion in the 2011 Silvershotz Folios. This journal of contemporary photography is distributed worldwide, with the 2011 Folios being published later this year. Major booksellers sell and can order the journal, but it can also be purchased online.

Work for both issues is selected through a jury review only and is highly competitive, so I feel honored to have had the portfolio selected for both journals. Still the work continues, for although most of the images in the portfolio were shot within a month after Hurricane Ike struck Galveston in 2008, the portfolio is still growing. Sifting through the thousands of images to make the finished photographs has taken much time and the work continues. Photographs from the series can be seen on my website, with new photos being added as production of the series continues.

New Photographs to be Exhibited at Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Exhibits

Beginning September 30 and running through mid-November two new photographs from my series Embracing the Light:Perspectives on Mortality will be on exhibit at galleries in Lubbock, Texas for the annual Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Celebration.

The exhibit will run through Sunday, November 6 and will be exhibiting my photograph The Eldest Child, 2011. The photograph was made at a cemetery on the Brandon Hall Plantation north of Natchez, Mississippi. The small cemetery is the resting place of eight of the Brandon’s twelve children. Seven of these children died in their youth before the death of their parents, with six of them dying before becoming teenagers. A few years ago, someone that visited the cemetery took enough of an interest so as to develop a website detailing a history of the family, including the stories of how each of the children died. It’s a very interesting!

The International Cultural Center at Texas Tech University will open their Día de los Muertos exhibit, Friday, October 21. The exhibit will run through Thursday, November 17 and will be exhibiting my photograph San Juan Mission Cemetery #1, 2009. It was made near Farmington, New Mexico and exhibits hundreds of white crosses marking the nameless graves of Navaho Indians. The cemetery dates to the early twentieth-century.

On Friday, August 5, The Center for Fine Art Photography in Fort Collins, Colorado held it’s Artists’ and Public Reception for their Black and White 2011 exhibit. The exhibit included my work Childhood, 2010, one of 46 photographs chosen for the exhibit out of 3,048 photos submitted in the competition from around the world. Photographs from the reception seen below were provided by the gallery.
