If you're following me on Twitter you may have already caught that I've had an image accepted into the "Elements of Water" exhibit at The Center for Fine Art Photography in Ft. Collins, Colorado. I'm told over 2,300 images were entered and juror, John Paul Caponigro, managed to edit the selection down to about 50 pieces. An incredibly difficult task to be sure. I'm honored that a print of the image above will be included!

The exhibit runs from February 19 – March 13, 2010 with the reception on March 5, 2010. I hope to make it to the reception but it's hard to say at this time, but if you're in the area you should definitely go. There will be a lot of great work on display, more of which can be seen here.

Earlier in the week, this beautiful cooper's hawk's life prematurely came to an end. While the why of what had actually happened is unknown, you can read more about the event on William Neill's blog post here: "In Memorial...". Though the idea of keeping this "Broken Spirit" around for a few days to seek inspiration and honor it's life through a photograph may seem grim, this majestic creature has no other choice but to hold your gaze and invoke contemplation.
