Recap 2011 – The Sun Sets on Another Year
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:
-Dreams Exhibition, Center for Fine Art Photography, Fort Collins, CO, (Aline Smithson, juror);
-Artists Haven Gallery, (Wendy M. Blazier, Senior Curator, Boca Raton Museum of Art, juror);
-Portfolio Showcase Volume 5, Center for Fine Art Photography, (Chris Pichler, Publisher, Nazraeli Press, juror);

-Freshly Pressed, Photo Blog: www.adventuresfrombehindtheglass.com, WordPress;
-SHUTTERBUG Magazine, Website: www.barrystevengreff.com, (Inspiring Images And Image-Makers, Joe Farace on BSG: “He’s created insightful works of great authority and style.”);
-The Photocloser (Frank Meo); getaddictedto.com; notcot.org, Light & Composition, etc.;
-Agency Access & Chatterbulletin (Louisa Curtis);
-Black & White Spider Awards, professional Fine Art nominee;
-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*
