My photos above will be part of an international exhibition for the awardees of the Worldwide Photography Gala Awards 2009 Juried Annual in Madrid, Spain at The Circle of Fine Arts. The opening and artist reception is on June 21.

The photo on the left won first place in the Abstract category in the competition, and the snowy photo of Central Park was selected to be a part of the group exhibition.

The competition was juried by Susan Zadeh, publisher of Eyemazing Magazine; Chris Steele-Perkins, Magnum; Tim Anderson, editor of the Red Dog Journal; and Brooks Jensen, publisher of Lenswork.
