My 2022 started on a good note. L.A. Photo Curator makes an annual selection of the top 40 photos from all submissions for the year. My photo of Coastal HWY at Dusk was selected as one of the top 40 photos of 2021.  The curator said, "These images were submitted to specific themes over the year but they alone really have so much to say - they stand on their own regardless of a theme. A good photograph is not just a pretty picture. It's an entrance into an intimate space, another world, a timeless moment frozen that moved the artist to make the photograph. And what was it that made the artist choose this moment to share? We don't know, but like all art it's all subjective and there are different meanings and messages for us all. I hope you will take some time and sit with these images that in my opinion are special enough to be called iconic."
