I was pleased to find out that my photo Upper Putah Creek was honored with the Viewpoint Photographic Art Center Award for best black and white photo at the California Fine Arts exhibition. Awards of any kind are always a welcome validation of one's work, but it's a particular honor to receive an award from my photographic peers. Many thanks to the jurors and the Viewpoint Photographic Art Center.

I hope you can make it out to the California Fine Arts exhibition this year. The show looks great; eclectic as always, with lots of strong work in a wide variety of media. Details as follows:
