Hurricane Ike Photographs Win Prestigious Spotlight Award, Published Internationally in Current Issue of "B&W+Color"

I was recently notified by the magazine B&W + Color, that my series Hurricane Ike: Images from the Debris Field has been chosen for a Spotlight Award in their 2012 Black and White Portfolio Competition.

Of the awards presented in this international competition, the Spotlight Award is the most highly coveted, with only 20 artist being chosen for the award out of the approximately 500 artists that enter the competition yearly.

Published in 60 countries, B&W + Color is a prestigious photographic journal featuring black and white and, beginning recently, color fine art photography from international artists.

With the Spotlight Award comes an interview and a multiple page layout in an issue of B&W + Color. The issue containing my Spotlight interview and photographs was published this week in the December 2012 issue of B&W + Color (Issue #94, pg. 96-99).

Published photographs from the Hurricane Ike series include: Beaded Necklace, 2008; Flim Negative, 2008; Glass Coca-Cola Bottle #2, 2008; Light Fixture and Blub, 2008; Spade, 2008; and Toys, 2008.

The December 2012 issue of B&W + Color (Issue #94) can be purchased in the US at major booksellers (Barnes & Nobel, Books-a-Million, Borders Books, Book People, etc.) and newsstands, as well as online via B&W + Color’s website.
