Funny but true…This image was used by the Georgia Mountains Regional Commission as the cover art for the organizations year end statement.
I was in a field of sunflowers, the sun was just about to drop below the tree line and was casting a great light through the late afternoon mist often seen in the North Georgia Mountains. Yet I had one issue, I was without a camera. I was dying, but wait, what is this??? My new iPhone was present. This lovely devise, picked up just days earlier, became a momentary solution to a pressing problem. Though it would have been nice to have my Nikon and gear, this moment indelibly bonded the Apple devise and myself. (Smiling) It was my first shot with the phone and certainly the most memorable. A friend submitted it to an organization and it was used as cover art for their year end statement.
In the 1986 Scholastic Art Awards held in Central Florida this image won the regional “Kodak Medallion of Excellence” award, as well as receiving The Art Institutes Citation for Special Merit: “Honorable Mention” in recognition of outstanding effort and artistic promise. This image was selected for the final judging in “The Art Institutes” scholarship competition.
