The 2026 International Photographic Competition (IPC) results are in, and I’m incredibly grateful. From four entries, I received two Bronze Medals, one Gold Medal, and my first Platinum Medal. Even more meaningful, the Platinum image was selected to represent Team USA at the World Photographic Cup. A special thank-you to my wife for encouraging me to enter that image this year—sometimes the best advice comes from those closest to us.

Last month I was selected by the PPA to join the USA Team in the World Photographic Cup competition. Today it was announced that my photograph scored in the top 10 in its category. Final results will be announced in Reykjavik, Iceland next April. I am honored and humbled to represent the USA Team and look forward to a visit to Iceland.

Honored and grateful!
Two of my images have been selected for the RESONANCE Collection by the American Society of Photographers — a juried exhibition featuring 51 images from 41 photographers that will travel to galleries and museums across the country.

Both photographs were captured during my 2019 trip to China. One portrays a fisherman casting his net across the misty Li River at dawn, while the other reveals women moving with quiet grace through the terraced rice fields. Together, they celebrate timeless traditions under threat from modern change and honor the enduring connection between people, culture, and nature.

If you’re the kind of person who loves a good adrenaline rush and doesn’t mind being 3,000 feet up in a plane with the doors off, strapped in by what feels like a seatbelt, then air-to-air (A2A) photography might be right up your alley. Check out "Air-to-Air Photography" by Andy Lay in the November/December Issue of The Photographer Magazine.
