Many thanks go to the board of APA LA for hosting one of the best events of my life.

I was super thrilled to see the fruit of mine and all the artists' labors at the opening of the Griffin Museum of Photography 25th Annual Juried Members' Exhibition. Selecting a mere 60 images was not easy! So many interesting submissions. The top finalist is Sunjoo Lee whose almost-black still life photographs are as sumptuous online as in print. See all of the winners on the Griffin Museum of … [read more]
