I have been fascinated by photography from the moment I first saw a photo come to life in my father's darkroom at the age of 7.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Photography is my medium of choice. I find black & white, landscape,nature, night, astrophotography, street, macro, and architectural photography interesting.
Where do you find inspiration?Literally, everywhere. I have developed an acute photographers eye, in the spirit of Ansel Adams who said the most important piece of camera gear is the 12 inches behind the camera.
What would you do with $25,000?I am a 100% disabled retired Navy Chief Petty Officer, and I would use it to recover from an NFT scam I was a victim of. Umbro Studios contacted me and told me I had to use NetHorx.com as the NFT marketplace. They kept throwing obstacle after obstacle to keep from 8 ETH is sales, and I wound up in dire financial straits. Fully $15,000 would go to recover from this humiliating experience, The balance would go into my business, Pinyon Mountain Studios.
