I am delighted to tell you that a number of my platinum/palladium and color photographs of the glorious Lusitano horse will be shown at the Griffin Museum of Photography in Winchester, Massachusetts, beginning January 6. There is an opening reception on January 13 that I hope to attend. In addition to the large format color photographs, prints from my fine press edition, Cavalo Lusitano: The Spirit Within, are being shown in the Founders Gallery. The book will be available for supervised viewing.

My sincere gratitude to Paula Tognarelli, esteemed Director of The Griffin, and to Crista Dix, newly minted Director, for all their hard work to make this exhibition happen. It’s a cherished dream come true.

My photo book project Soft Eyes/ Open Heart, was selected for the Photobook of the Year Competition. Held annually by the Davis Orton Gallery and Griffin Museum of Photography in collaboration, it is a high-water mark for self-published photography books. The opening reception for that show (in the Atelier Gallery at the Griffin) will also be on January 13. So come to Boston! Here are just a few of the TEN BOOKS in the series:

Landscape Impressions is a collection of ten images devoted to how I felt in a given place and time; the impression of the natural world before me.
