About the Griffin Museum, and its founder Arthur Griffin:
Arthur Griffin was born in Lawrence, Massachusetts on September 12, 1903. Originally trained to be an illustrator, in 1929 he picked up his first camera — a second-hand folding Brownie — and thus began a passion that would last a lifetime.
By the mid-1930’s, Arthur Griffin had become the exclusive photographer for the newly created Boston Globe Rotogravure Magazine and the New England photojournalist for Life and Time magazines. He went on to become a pioneer in the use of color film and provided the first color photographs to appear in the Saturday Evening Post — a two-page layout on New England.
Opened in 1992, the Griffin Museum is the embodiment of founder Arthur Griffin’s passion — to promote an appreciation of photographic art and a broader understanding of its visual, emotional, and social impact. Arthur’s goal was to share with visitors his enthusiasm for a medium that is diverse, imaginative and informative.
Winner, Best Fine Art Series at the New York Photo Festival, 2009
Very grateful to have won the award for "Best Fine Art Series" after just moving to New York City from California. It felt like a kind of welcoming; not just to NYC – but also to the art photography community.
My work was included in the NYPH book as well as the "New Visionaries" show at The Tobacco Warehouse in DUMBO, alongside the other award recipients.
