I'll have prints in the following group shows opening this summer.

Two of my pictures will be up at the Griffin Museum of Photography 16th Juried Show. Exhibiting works were selected by Joerg Colberg, author of photography blog Coscientious. The show will be on view from June 30th through August 29th.
