recent mentions: JUXT, AFAR, and "why I love AZ"

The last few days have been full of good news for

some photo-recognition;

truly an honor...

Yesterday, the 1000 Words Showcase by JUXT featured this image,

"not quite twins," which I took about a week ago at the Mission San Xavier del Bac:

Today, I found out that this photo/highlight,

"Up Close at the Raptor-Free-Flight,"

is a finalist for Week 3 of the AFAR/Vayama "Catch the World" contest:

...and "on the path to spring in the Sonoran Desert," 

a finalist in the annual "Why I Love AZ" photo-contest:

(voting ends March 29th...)

A couple of Honorable Mentions!

For the 2013 Mobile Photo Awards "Travel" category,

two of my submissions made "Honorable Mention!"

One from Seoul:

Hyangweonjeon, or "The Pavilion of Far-reaching Fragrance,"

in Gyeongbokgung Palace,

is one of the loveliest spots in Seoul.

(ColorSplash app in addition to snapseed

used for both of these images,

taken with an iPhone 4.)

...and the other from the opposite side of S. Korea,

from the coastal city of Sokcho:

"Red Doors, Sokcho, Korea"

(Abai village neighborhood)

So, if you happen to be in New York City 

February 22-28,

these images will be among those on display

at the SOHO Gallery for Digital Art...

Check out the rest of the winners and runners-up;

so compelling, and all taken and edited solely with mobile devices.

It's such a thrill and privilege to know that a couple of my iphoneographic efforts 

will be on display with all of these great images...
