Emerging Photographer 2009

Front Cover
Well, I suppose it’s about time to reveal my current achievement. In the September issue of Photo Life magazine. I was named one of their ‘Emerging Photographers’ of 2009. I am deeply honored and excited all at the same time. It truly is incredible to have your work recognized by the photographic community. Being an artist, and one who profits from your art, is a profession clouded in self-doubt and intense self criticism. So, being chosen for this has helped to further affirm that I am, in deed, on the right path.

Thank you to Photo Life for such a fabulous opportunity! Congrats to all of the fellow ‘Emerging Photographers of 2009′ as well!
