My image - Ottawa Street Lights - won Best Photograph in the Architecture Category of the prestigious "Black and White Photo Awards 2023" in León, Spain.

Whilst 2022 continued to be a struggle for most of the World, I continued to make art and push my creations out into the World.

I had some wonderful successes in the second half of the Year, following a successful beginning.

In Oct. my image Building Blocks was selected for a 4-month long exhibit at Vibrant Marketing in Toronto.

October also saw my image Cranial Interconnections from the Inside win 1st Place in the 6th Annual Patterns, Textures & Forms Art Exhibition, Photography and Digital Category at the Light Space and Time Online Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. In the same Exhibition, my image Radiant received a Special Merit Award.

My very successful image Cyclone World was selected for the 8th International Phone-ography Exhibition hosted by the FotoFoto Gallery in New York.

And to close out the year in December, my image When Fall Explodes into Colour was selected as the Camelback Gallery’s Juror’s Choice of the Week for their online webpage. Camelback Gallery is in Scottsdale, Arizona.  

Whilst Cyclone World, Building Blocks and When Fall Explodes into Colours are already available on Artmajeur, I will be adding Cranial Interconnections from the Inside and Radiant in the near future.

Best wishes to all.

Peace, Gareth
