International Photography Award Winner - Sea of Gold

October 26, 2015

Recently, I received word that one of my new pieces, Sea of Gold, received Honorable Mention in the International Photography Awards in the category of Fine Art Landscapes. It was chosen to receive this award from nearly 18,000 entries worldwide. This piece has been close to me this past year, as it was one of the first images I created while living on the California Central Coast on my 4x5 camera. It was created at one of my favorite spots in Montana de Oro State Park along with my wife Jes. A large wave hit the cliff face where we were standing moments before, drenching her, but leaving my camera and me completely dry. She took a beating, but the photograph turned out to be one of my favorites I had ever created and I am beyond thrilled and honored to receive this award.
