I am pleased to announce that Curator Aline Smithson has selected the above photograph to be included in The Decisive Moment juried exhibition at the Photo Place Gallery in Middlebury, Vermont. This will be my first-time exhibiting work in Vermont, and it will be the 55th exhibition I have participated in.
I am honored that Aline selected my photograph. She is the founder, and editor, of Lenscratch Magazine and an accomplished photographer in her own right. I first met Aline at the Medium Festival of Photography ten years ago and she featured my Santa Anita book in article that same year. Earlier this year, we both had our work showcased in the Atlanta Photography Group’s Portfolio Exhibition, in an exhibition curated by Shana Lopes, who is the Assistant Curator of Photography at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art .
This is the first time I have exhibited the above photograph which I captured 15 years ago while photographing for my Cactus League portfolio. The image is from the White Sox training facility in Tuscon before they moved to Glendale, Arizona and their current shared facility with the Dodgers. When I saw this call for entry, I realized this exhibition could be the perfect opportunity to finally showcase this image which I have liked.
I also want to congratulate Denise Laurinaitis who received the Directors Award for her submission “In Flight”. Denise exhibited this image with my work in May at the Atlanta Photography Group’s Portfolio 2023 Exhibition. It is an outstanding image and worthy of the recognition.
