Award Winning Photography

I am very proud of these photographs. Some of the competitions listed in this gallery literally involve thousands of pictures competing with each other from many outstanding photographers around the world. All of the revenue I have accumulated from these winning photographs I have put back into my photography. These photographs (to me) represent a significant reward for my time and energy spent away from family and friends while on these "Photographic Expeditions".
