American Photographic Artists National Awards

Honored to receive two awards this year in the American Photographic Artists National Competition! #APA

One of my Journey photos with my delightful girl Tiny wins in the conceptual category. Tiny is a Silver Spangled Hamburg chicken. Composite:  Tiny + Mykonos scene

I purchased chicks during April of this year during the pandemic.

I imagined traveling with my new pet family outside our restricted area.  I photographed my girls regularly and started compositing their images into existing holiday scene photos.

In the animal category my image, “The Thinker” was included in this year's awards.

A primate portrait of a very personable Japanese Macaque AKA the SnowMonkey native to Japan.
