His website is michaelmarksphoto.com. His award-winning photo is Cowgirl, Middletown Grange Fair.
Honorable Mention Award Winner, JP Terlizzi, said: “Much of my work explores themes of memory, relationship and identity. My images are rooted in the personal and heavily influenced around the notion of home, legacy and family. I am curious how the past relates and intersects with the present and how that impacts and shapes one’s identity. Deb at Window is from an ongoing series, Dandelions Are Not Weeds. The series speaks to a time in my life that is filled with personal metamorphosis, impermanence and uncertainties; the imagery from the series finds beauty in the gaps and margins and the meditative qualities in solitary reveries. Specifically, the images serve as a means to process personal loss and transitions providing solace in the reshaping of one’s relational environment.”
Stephen Lease won an Honorable Mention Award for Untitled 3.
