I've got a new web site! fondaphoto.com I know you're thinking "didn't he just put up a new web site?" Well, yes, sort of... that was last summer and it was a 'place holder' site until I could get this one built. So it's Bigger and Better than ever and offers the ability to buy signed, limited edition prints and open edition prints. I hope you'll stop by and check it out.

I'm proud to announce that two of my portfolios, 'Neo-Precisionism' and my most recent project, 'Canyonlands', have been selected for publication in the March 2025 edition of Lens Magazine https://lensmagazine.net/, The Big Black & White Issue 2025.

Canyonlands represents a departure from my architectural fine art photography with a look at some of natures constructions in the landscapes of southern Utah and it's gratifying to have it so well received.

More work from each of these portfolios can be seen on my fine art photography website, fondaphoto.com.

I've been busy putting together some new work, but meanwhile three images I shot in Valencia, Spain last November were awarded Honorable Mentions in the 2024 MonoVisions Awards; two in the Abstract category, and one in Architecture. Thanks, MonoVisions! https://monovisionsawards.com/

Want to let you all know that my new fine art photography website is up and running! After a career spent photographing what other people paid me to shoot, it's a blessing to be able to shoot what I feel driven to shoot. And it's wonderful to be able to share them with all of you. I hope you enjoy the work!

I am very pleased to announce that my image Sofia Geometric was awarded as a Nominee in the Professional / Abstract category in the 10th annual international Fine Art Photography Awards. "At the heart of Fine Art Photography Awards is the objective to explore the depth of 21st century artists’ ability to push the limits of the imagination and produce other-worldly photography, beyond the current trend and accepted standards."

I'm pleased to announce that I've been awarded Third Place in Photojournalism in the 2023 Black & White Spider Awards (https://www.thespiderawards.com/) for my image 'Alone'. I also received an Honorable Mention and a Nomination in Architecture, and a Nomination in Children of the World.

'Alone' was taken in a mental hospital in the mid-70's, a time when treatment for the 'mentally ill' was often rudimentary. I never knew the patients name; I'm not identifying the location as to do so at this point would serve little purpose.
