Sweet news!
My work for Camargo Hunt has been selected for a BEST-IN-SHOW AWARD OF EXCELLENCE from Communication Arts Magazine (CA) in their 64th annual photography competition. I know firsthand how difficult it is to place in this industry coveted award show and am very grateful for the recognition. Thank you to the judges for their thoughtful curation across the annual. And thank you to Cynthia Lewis at the Camargo Hunt for the opportunity.

ABOUT THE WORK
The English Tradition of the fox hunt is alive and well in the hills east of Cincinnati. This work celebrates the beauty and traditions that remain today in a world so far removed from the sporting rituals of yesterday. The hunt is no longer a hunt to the finish as the foxes are merely chased but the spirit of community and sport thrives. Created for the Camargo Hunt, Cincinnati Ohio.
