Update (April 21, 2020): Due to Covid 19"We Are The Earth...." is now a digital exhibit. You can see the full exhibit at www.kalamazooearthday.com/kcollege-art-show
Below is my photo, The Fallen, which will soon be appearing in an exhibit of artwork reflecting on the environment. WE ARE THE EARTH/WE ARE THE PROBLEM/WE ARE THE SOLUTION will be going up in Kalamazoo College's UpJohn Library Commons in early March, running until about May 1.
My photo, "Ethereal Vessel" has been accepted into the 2020Abstracts Matter national juried exhibit hosted by the 311 Gallery in Raleigh, NC. The exhibit runs from 3/5/2020 - 3/28/2020 with a reception: 3/6/2020 7:00 - 9:00 PM.
I try to limit my work to three ongoing mega projects - Landscapes, Macro / Close Up work, and Abstracts. My abstracts are usually close ups of shadows cast on the wall or floor or sidewalk. This image sis in the third project line. The vessel was just a little spot of light that briefly hovered on the wall in my living room.

The three pieces I submitted to the exhibit are:
Just dropped off three pieces at the Battle Creek Art Center for the Signature Artists group show "Beyond Boundaries."
The show will run from June 4-24 at the Art Center of Battle Creek, 265 E Emmett St, Battle Creek, MI 49017. Artists' Reception will this Sunday, June 4, from 2-4PM.
I interpreted "boundaries" as the technical things that you do to make photographs - aperture, shutter speed, etc. - so to get beyond them I broke out the Holgas which don't let you do much with settings. And then I tried to take photos that included boundaries - like the a ditch or the fog lines on a highway. Shot in March / early April.
Here are the three pieces I entered for the show, plus the post card / annoucement:
