“Drawn to the Light” Wins 3nd Place at Eye Wide Open Photography Exhibit
I'm honored to share that my photograph Drawn to the Light received 3nd Place in the 4th Annual Eye Wide Open Juried Photography Exhibition, featuring the work of 20 extraordinary and well-known photographers from across the CSRA.
Many thanks to the North Augusta Arts & Heritage Center for hosting this outstanding show, and to juror Gerald Woods for his thoughtful recognition.
A few words about the image:
I didn’t stop for this photo because the light was perfect — I stopped because it was true.
The fog had pulled a curtain over the landscape, but it couldn’t dim the presence of the light.
That single bare tree, centered and quiet, seemed to hold the entire scene together.
To me, it’s a reminder that light doesn’t always reveal everything — just enough to keep us moving forward.

It was a thrill to have one of my photographs to sell at the NAAG "Fall Into Art" annual show at the Arts and Heritage Center of North Augusta, but have it purchased by the famous SC painter, The Chicken Man, and to top that, he re-created my photo into his famous style of painting. both will be for sale in Aiken in the future. Many thanks Ernest Lee!
