Adventures from Behind the Glass

Front Row Seats, Torrey Pines, CA 2008

Not one for shooting sunsets and silhouettes, I did feel that this image of a couple watching the sun set from high atop a cliff, best depicted a (not so) fond farewell to 2011. In a year marred by two surgeries and their aftermath, my mobility was surely limited. Notwithstanding, I was pleased to have my work recognized as follows:

-Artists Haven Gallery, (Wendy M. Blazier, Senior Curator, Boca Raton Museum of Art, juror);

-The Photocloser (Frank Meo); getaddictedto.com; notcot.org, Light & Composition, etc.;

-Agency Access & Chatterbulletin (Louisa Curtis);

-added to exclusive private collections in New York City, Baton Rouge, LA, etc.;

-and starting January 2012 by inclusion in the book resulting from the Chris Pichler juried Portfolio Showcase No. 5 at C4fap.

I would like to thank all of the curators, publishers, editors and writers for their gracious support of my work in 2011 and here’s looking forward to a great 2012. Barry

…As I stated in an earlier post entitled Promise of a New Day which featured this next image:

At the fleeting moments of dusk, the sun shines a final stroke of light as it sets below the horizon. More important than the beauty each sunset exhibits, its greatest asset is …the promise of a new day.

*Happy New Year from Barry Steven Greff Photography*
