"Focus...and LEAP"

I can finally share this image. It earned a Bronze medal in PPA's International Photographic Competition this past weekend.

Taken in 2017 at a local dock dog event, I managed through a FB group, to track down the owner in 2024!

It originally earned an 86/100 in International Society of Animal Photographer's print competition.

Then it earned "Image Excellence" in PPA's Merit Image Review, earning me a merit towards my Master of Photography degree.

I entered in 2024's International Photographic Competition, but failed to make the finals. As such, I was still eligible to enter in 2025.

I was shocked and pleased to have made the finals, originally ranking 13 out of 32.

I was knocked out in the first round, but oh so happy to earn Bronze!

Well, the past couple of months have been trying to say the least! Forgive my absence as I go through health issues for the next few months.

In the meantime, I have updated the website and would appreciate it if you took a gander!

 My work spans both fine-art photography and custom digital portraits, each created with the same attention to emotion, detail, and storytelling.
