Accepted Membership into Atomic Photographers Guild
In 2023 I was honored to be accepted into the Atomic Photographers Guild. This group is a Canadian-based international organization of artist photographers focused on all things nuclear and lead by Robert Del Tredici photographer and author of books dedicated to revealing nuclear-related issues. I am joining the ranks of a lot of highly-regarded photographers some of which have been heros of mine for sometime. I look forward to learning much with my future involvement with this amazing group of artists.
