Mapping manifests in seemingly endless ways; much like photography, it combines individual experience and collective knowledge, and serves to connect us across space and time. The landscape neatly tucked up in one’s pocket provides both certainty and mystery. Abstract borders, creases, and folds promise paths for tomorrow, while worlds unknown sit on the edge of an expansive theatre waiting to be discovered. And so we explore. —Conveyor Magazine

Arthur Griffin Legacy Award recipient from the Griffin Museum of Photography
Catherine Edelman, owner of the Catherine Edelman Gallery in Chicago, Illinois, selected 3 images from And Still We Gather With Infinite Momentum for the 15th Juried Exhibition at the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, MA. I was also awarded the Arthur Griffin Legacy Award for outstanding work.
About the Griffin Museum, and its founder Arthur Griffin:
Arthur Griffin was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts on September 12, 1903. Originally trained to be an illustrator, in 1929 he picked up his first camera — a second-hand folding Brownie — and thus began a passion that would last a lifetime.
By the mid-1930’s, Arthur Griffin had become the exclusive photographer for the newly created Boston Globe Rotogravure Magazine and the New England photojournalist for Life and Time magazines. He went on to become a pioneer in the use of color film and provided the first color photographs to appear in the Saturday Evening Post — a two-page layout on New England.
Opened in 1992, the Griffin Museum is the embodiment of founder Arthur Griffin’s passion — to promote an appreciation of photographic art and a broader understanding of its visual, emotional, and social impact. Arthur’s goal was to share with visitors his enthusiasm for a medium that is diverse, imaginative and informative.
Winner, Best Fine Art Series at the New York Photo Festival, 2009
Very grateful to have won the award for "Best Fine Art Series" after just moving to New York City from California. It felt like a kind of welcoming; not just to NYC – but also to the art photography community.
My work was included in the NYPH book as well as the "New Visionaries" show at The Tobacco Warehouse in DUMBO, alongside the other award recipients.
