3rd Place - Monochrome Photo Entry


Although most of my trip to Italy was filled with rain, my wife and I forced ourselves to dawn our rain gear and explore the many towns in and around Tuscany. I earned third place for this monochrome photo print entry from the Atlanta Photographic Society in August, 2010. The rain finally let up and left the streets of Siena with a wonderful reflection on the wet pavement and beautiful contrast of light and darks. Well worth the wait for a break in the constant rain fall.

2nd Place – Digital Photo Entry


I earned second place for this digital photo entry from the Atlanta Photographic Society's photo competition in August, 2010. I took this image in Montalcino, Italy and call it, Evening Stroll. The funny part about this image – I had to position myself to use the women on the right to hide my wife in the background. I love my wife, but I did not want her in the shot with the three elderly Italians as they took their evening stroll.
