Wilby Coleman

For the past several weeks, I've been working with Wilby Coleman to take photographs of some of his metal sculptures to assist him in evaluating publication options for a book on his art. The current set of photographs is available in this album.

Memorial Hospital of Adel

For the past 8 months, I've been working with the administration of the Memorial Hospital of Adel to create a series of 34 photographs to be installed in the hospital's hallways as part of an ongoing renovation project. All of these photographs were taken in Cook County, Georgia, in both rural and urban areas. This project is now completed, and the hospital has invited the public to visit from 12 noon to 3 p.m. on Friday, June 15th, to see the photographs in the newly-renovated areas. Copies of the photographs along with candid hallway shots of some of the installations are in this album. A copy of the project brochure in PDF format (888.8k) is at this link. The hospital is located at 706 North Parrish Avenue, Adel, Georgia 31620 (229.896.8000).

Lake City exhibit

As a member of the Art League of North Florida, based in Lake City FL, I entered copies of two photographs that were originally taken for use in the Adel hospital project in the Art League's 2nd annual members' exhibit. One of my photographs, "Boardwalk," won a fifth-place ribbon in this event. Photographs from the reception are in this album. This exhibit runs until March 22, 2007.

Exhibit: Valdosta National 2007

One of my photographs was juried into the Valdosta National 2007 exhibit, and has won a fourth-place ribbon. Photos from this exhibit are available at this link.

Exhibiting: Longleaf Alliance conference

I'll be exhibiting some of my nature photography at the Longleaf Alliance conference in Tifton, Georgia, from November 13-14, including photographs of longleaf pines, pitcher plants, and the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. The photograph of a stand of longleaf pines that forms the central part of my exhibit is in this photo album. That exhibit will also include some of my notecards.

Ruddy Duck

I've posted some photographs of a Ruddy Duck, spotted near a boat dock on Long Pond (Lowndes County GA), on the afternoon of September 30th. The photographs are in this album.

Black-bellied Whistling Ducks

Photographs of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks, two adults and fourteen ducklings, have been posted in a new album.

Exhibit: Thomasville March 2006

Eight of my photographs of pitcher plants were be on display at the Thomasville Cultural Center as part of an exhibit in conjunction with the Nature Conservancy's "Old Growth" forestry conference. The exhibit began in mid-March and concluded on March 31, 2006. Here's a link to an album with the exhibited photographs. I've used some of these pitcher plant images in note card designs, but this will be the first time any of them have been exhibited in an art gallery setting. I'm very pleased to have been able to exhibit them as a set with an overall seasonal arrangement from early spring to late fall.

Exhibit: Lake City

One of my photographs won a first place ribbon at the Members' Show of the Art League of North Florida in Lake City, FL. Here's a link to an album of photographs from that exhibit, which started on February 17 and ran until March 23, 2006.
