Frederick Fashion Week 2008!

September 19th and 20th brought crowds, fashion, and excitement to downtown Frederick, as the Frederick Arts Council hosted the 2nd Annual Frederick Fashion Week event. It was an amazing series of shows, and built upon the successes of last year. This year, 8 local fashion designers and clothing boutiques teamed up with area cosmetology schools and salons to put together stunning shows!

I was thrilled to be the primary photographer for Fashion Week this year. I brought a ton of lighting gear, and oh am I glad I did! Everyone who worked on the show was amazing, and I’m looking forward to working with many of the 100+ models who where in the shows, not to mention doing more commercial photography for the vendors.

Aspire, Bezo, Danny Tran, Social Studies and Velvet Lounge, Cowboy Stuff, Sky’s the Limit, Fashion Exchange, Zebop, Frederick School of Cosmetology, Natural Fusion, Structures Salon, and The Temple … See you again in ’09!

2nd Place – 2008 Summer Show

Newborn Hope

The Frederic Camera Clique’s 2008 Summer Show opened today and my photo — “Newborn Hope” — placed 2nd in the Portrait & Figure category! Anytime I have entries accepted to a juried show I am thrilled and placing is the icing on the cake. Part of the enjoyment I take from this year’s showing is that newborn, infant, and children’s portraiture make up a good bit of the studio portraiture I do. It’s very encouraging when judges in the field put that kind of stamp of approval on your efforts!

The Frederick Camera Clique is a Frederick based photography club and their juried art exhibition that runs every summer at the Mary Condon Hodgeson Gallery at Frederick Community College is considered to be one of the most prestigious shows in the area. It draws artists from all over Maryland, DC, Virginia, and Pennsylvania resulting in a great show and stiff competition for all who enter. This summer was their 23rd annual show. The show is open to the public and runs through September 2, if you are in the neighborhood, stop in and check it out!

Now Exclusive with iStockphoto.com

I love so many kinds of photography, and one thing that keeps me sharp and innovating is the commercial stock photography I shoot as a major part of my business. Today I am proud to announce I’ve become an Exclusive artist at iStockphoto.com. I used to contribute to several stock agencies but iStock is the 800 pound gorilla on the microstock side of the business and it makes sense to partner exclusively with them.

1st Place – Frederick Camera Clique’s 21st Annual Competition

Today was the opening for the Frederick Camera Clique’s 21st Annual Juried Competition. This regional show draws professionals and serious photography enthusiasts from Maryland, Virginia, and Washington DC.

"Custom Chrome"

I am thrilled to share that my print titled, “Custom Chrome” won 1st Place in the Monochrome category. I had 3 other photographs in the show, which was an accomplishment given that show judges chose only 46 images from over 220 submissions.

The show runs through September 5th at the Mary Condon Hodgson Gallery at FCC. If you have a chance, stop in, there are many wonderful photographs to see!
