I’m stoked to share this award from One Eyeland, as all the entrants were top-notch!  And with the final months of school coming to a close, these awards and recognitions only increase my passion and drive to succeed in the industry of commercial photography.  Below is the winning series titled His or Her Hands.

The Beekeeper 2012.  Shot in my backyard as a fellow beekeeper and I harvested the honey from the hives.

Tracy Lang transitioning from a landscaper and accomplished large-scale woodblock print artist to the art of tattooing.  Here she practices at home, surrounded by her inspirations, while her daughter watches over her shoulder.

Kelly Foote can either be found surfing the Pacific Northwest, surfing anywhere around the world, or holed up in his shaping trailer creating the boards he loves to ride.  What he does quickly becomes second nature.

Robert Carlson is an internationally-acclaimed glass artist, creating amazingly complex pieces of philosophical shapes, ones that emerge from the depths of his subconscious.  He peers through the mirrors of everyday life.

Matt Kuntz spends a late summer’s afternoon working on his Ford Mustang.  There is still much work to be done.
