Iceberg, Glacier Bay sold at the Komen Auction, raising money for a great cause: awareness and combatting breast cancer. I’m thrilled that my photography can help in some small way to make a difference (and I have a new collector!)

Komen Art for the Cure Exhibition
I donated two images to this great organization’s first Boston Art for the Cure Exhibition and Auction, Iceberg and Garlic Scape.
The Plaza, Chichicastenango, Guatemala image won FIRST PLACE in Newton Camera Club Competition
Last night I went to Newton Camera Club, where I had submitted 3 images to a competition, and Plaza from New Years’ morning in Chichicastenango, Guatemala (below) won First Place with a perfect 30 score, and the judge, Mike McNeill, was incredibly complimentary. (“I thought I was looking at Henri Cartier-Bresson”.) WOW!!!!
The timing could not possibly have been better. I am taking a Street Photography Class at New England School of Photography (NESOP). Our first shooting assignment was Saturday in the Boston Common, and was definitely NOT my best work. After viewing ‘the take’, I was massively disappointed – the images were just too static. So self doubt creeps in, maybe I really love photography, but will never be good, etc. (Dark Side Demons at work.) This gives me the energy to get back out there shooting!! Thanks Mike!!!
