I have not submitted an image to any type of show or competition in ages. The story I’ll tell here for anyone reading is that the last decade or so I’ve not been able to pursue my photographic passions as much as I desired. This is changing now due to a number of circumstances I won’t elaborate on here. This photo one an award: “Color Print of theYear”
Studio Print of the Year • Ink Pen meets Photograph
It surprised most of the people in that competition including me. Most of my “personal” work is odd things that catch my eye; shapes, lines, colors, situations…
I used a fine point Sharpie to outline some of the details on this print. Doing that turned the image into something between an illustration and a photo. The same year I also won “Studio Print of the Year” for an image of a candlestick phone Polaroid Image Transfer. That was quite a year! I may post that image in the future.
