Quiet Poetics, Objects & Memory, Narrative

05/20/2026

Honored to share that three of my still life light paintings were recognized in the 2026 London Photography Awards, Still Life category:

🥇 Gold — End of an Era: The Cathode Ray Tube
🏅 Honorable Mention — 71 Seconds to Midnight
🏅 Honorable Mention — Midnight Cuban Diaries

These three works are among the most personally meaningful in my practice — each built through extended-exposure light painting around objects that carry memory, obsolescence, and the quiet weight of time. To have all three recognized together feels significant.

This year, the competition received over 4,000 entries from more than 30 countries, reflecting the continued reach and relevance of the award among both established professionals and emerging photographers. Winning entries were recognized across a broad range of photographic disciplines, including fine art, architecture, editorial, commercial, nature, people photography, and more.
Thank you to the jurors and to everyone who has followed this work. Prints are available at the link below.

Most people assume photography is about capturing light.

“Waiting for Word Across the Ocean” — a narrative still-life light painting inspired by the quiet tension of wartime separation.

A father sits alone late at night, the glow of a shortwave radio filling the room as he searches for news from across the Atlantic. Every crackle of static carries hope, fear, and the possibility of hearing that his son is still alive somewhere in Europe.

Created entirely through light painting, this piece is part of my ongoing exploration of memory, symbolism, and the emotional weight carried by ordinary objects.

A friend discovered this vintage Zenith Oceanic Shortwave Radio in the attic, and he asked me if I'd like to light paint it. Of course, I told him yes!

This is from my series of narrative still lifes, and the story I had in mind when I created this composition was of a few days after D-Day in World War II, and a father in Brooklyn, New York, is tuning in on his shortwave radio to get the latest news from the front, as the Allies move from the beaches into the French countryside.

His son Paul (my father-in-law and that is his portrait) is in the Army Corps of Engineers. The Corps is a key part of the invasion, digging through the beach dunes, building temporary bridges, and building the infrastructure for the troops as they fight their way to Paris.

The father tunes his radio with precision and anxiously waits for any voices from afar. It's a little past 3:30 AM. He should've been in bed long ago. He has to go to work soon, but he's hoping to hear whether the invasion was successful —or a complete disaster. Is his son alive? Only time will tell....

The wallpaper is a 1940s-style wallpaper. It might be a little busy, but after looking at so many wallpapers from that era, apparently, that was the style back then. The Camel ci******es and box were Paul's favorite smoke. The newspapers are vintage D-Day newspapers that I bought on eBay. The envelopes are letters written by servicemen during World War II that I also bought on eBay.

The Zenith Oceanic shortwave radio was, in fact, used by many Americans to tune in to war news; however, this model is from the 1950s, which is close enough for my narrative.

Two bodies of work. One question: how do we see what we overlook?

Place matters. These works are rooted in North Carolina.

Architecture becomes theatrical when light is reintroduced intentionally.
