    Meeting the EFIAP/silver criteria…

    So I’m thinking tonight how many personal and sometimes professional achievements happen quietly and unnoticed. I received salon results today for the BOKA BAY 20201 Montenegro and Serbia circuit salon with a bunch of new images I hastily put together to hopefully close the gap for the required number of new accepted works for the

    9th Miroc Exhibition Circuit results

    So I’m hopefully on the home stretch for my submission to FIAP for the EFIAP Silver distinction. I was 13 new image acceptances short of the required 50 new works. That is, until today, when I received the results of the latest salon circuit for Serbia, Russia, South Africa, and Norway. I received acceptances for

    Back to Norway…

    Mischkah and I managed to arrange our first remote shoot of 2021 in her new Norwegian location. Here are some of the images from our two hour session. We split the time with studio lights and natural light and two different spaces. Very pleased with what we produced in such a short space of time.

  • A snowy park

    A snowy park

    An extra fall of snow this morning called me out for a second walk in our local park this morning. May be the last chance to capture a winter scene before the sprint flowers make their presence felt. My first thought was to head to the deer paddock and see if the stag had some

  • Passage of time

    Passage of time

    So yesterday, after my scrambling around mountains in mist and fog from sunrise to sunset, I returned to an old friend. We first met on the 4th of February 2007. I was young and innocent and didn’t know how to handle the situation, but I was so enamored with the beauty in front of me,

  • A winter break

    A winter break

    While the country was moving from Covid-19 level 5 restrictions to a more open Level-3 I needed to head west to prevent some burst pipes. Since I brought my camera I could hardly not capture the first snow of the winter over Maumtrasna. While many chose to make straight for the reopened stores, I can’t

    Venera 2020 Montenegro

    Another successful Salon for this week was Venera 2020.

Overall I received 11 acceptance for

    I am delighted to have received three awards in the 5th Nordic International Digital Circuit 2020 this week, including an RSF Gold Monochrome medal for “Keeping you on your toes” featuring Tillie Feather and Leon Lift. My other two awards were a FIAP Ribbon Color and NFFF HM Color for the same image “Fanny en

    6th Wojnicz Intl Salon Poland

    Yesterday I receive word of my Salon acceptances in the 6th Wojnicz International Salon, Poland. Since I am working towards EFIAP Silver distinction I was hoping to receive an award for at least one image. Sadly this was not to be, instead receiving 7 acceptances (66%), which is a consolation, given the average acceptance rate

    5th DESIRE CIRCUIT 2020

    Today I received the results from my first Salon submission in about two years.

I took a break from entering FIAP salons after receiving my EFIAP
