| The photo to the left was also on display at the Visitor's Center at Cantigny Park in Wheaton, IL. It was chosen along with Fan of Ascension as one of 20 winning photos. I dedicate it to my mom who convinced me to enter it into the contest even though I didn't think it was good enough. Do moms always know best? |

| I entered the above photos into a contest in Glenn, Michigan (in three different categories), and each one won a prize. The photo of the man and his dog on the snowy beach won first prize in its category and first prize overall, and the dog and the flower in the glass each won second prize in their categories. I was humbled and embarrassed to win prizes in each category, but truthfully, I had beautiful subjects, so the rest was easy. Thanks to my mom for asking me to enter. |
| This photo won first prize for color photographs at a Juried Photography Exhibition at Graue Mill in Oak Brook, IL. The Exhibition will be at the Graue Museum from October 2nd through October 28th. I was walking in the city one day when I walked by this restaurant and saw the shot. Fortunately, I had my camera. Thanks to all of my friends at DeVry Online who helped me choose this one over a couple of others! |
