Anthony is honored to announce that he has won the People's Choice Award in the Olney Arts Council's Fine Art Show this year.  This award means a great deal to Anthony because the votes came from the general public who could have cast their vote for any of the wonderful pieces of artwork from all mediums, but they chose Anthony's Heart Of An Angel as their favorite.  Anthony would like to thank everyone who attended the show in support of the Olney Arts Council and the many talented artists on display.

Anthony is also pleased to announce that the winning piece will be on permanent display in the Holiday Hotel and Restaurant in Olney, IL.  The owners have been long-time supporters of Anthony's work and they are thrilled to add the People's Choice to their collection.  They invite everyone to stop by and see the piece often.

Anthony has returned from his adventure searching for the very rare white Spirit Bears in the Great Bear Rainforest along the Pacific Coast of British Columbia. This was one the greatest Nature experiences of Anthony's career! The impact all the different species of bears left on him has changed the way he perceives wildlife and rekindled that fire within him to search out that special moment in the wild that can make anyone stop and take their breathe away. You can read more about this remarkable trip on Anthony's blog. He will be releasing a large volume of new images from this magical region over the next several weeks, so stay tuned!

I have just returned from the Cedarhurst Art Fair at Mt. Vernon, IL. I would like to say thank you to everyone who visited and worked to make that wonderful event possible. Cedarhurst is an amazing facility with dedicated members and volunteers that have created a little jewel in Southern Illinois.

Due to my very busy schedule, it is hard for me to do many shows in my local area. I was delighted to have the opportunity to meet both existing and new collectors, some of which drove considerable distances to have a chance to talk with me in person. I am both humbled and honored by all the excitement and sales of my work. It is rare that I get to meet the people investing in my artwork, so it was a real treat to tell them the stories behind the images they were interested in adding to their collections.

Thank you all for your continued support!

Tony

 It has been a very busy spring and summer for Anthony.  He returned from his trip to the magical Slot Canyons (new exhibit up soon) at the end of May and has been busy working through all his images from the trip.  Anthony is also very pleased to announce that his work will now be represented by Dan Krasemann of DRK Photo.  Mr. Krasemann has represented some of the best images from a select group of the world's finest Nature Photographers for the last 30 years.  Anthony is both excited and honored for this new partnership with DRK Photo.  They will now handle most of the worldwide marketing for the publishing and stock licensing of all Anthony's work.  This will free up more of Anthony's time to devote to being in the field creating new images and artwork for his collectors, which is his true passion.  The last couple of months have been consumed with this new addition to Anthony's photography, as well as several other exciting new facets yet to be announced.  Things are moving quickly for him, so stay tuned for several other announcements in the near future!  As always, Anthony thanks everyone for their continued support.

Anthony is pleased to announce that his image "White In Yellow" received the editors weekly pick in the Fauna category on Nature Photographer's Online Magazine.  This site has close to 100,000 contributing members and over a 1,000,000 hits per month.  Thousands of photographers submit images every week to these forums for review and comment from other photographers.  Anthony is humbled by his selection when there are so many stunning images to choose from everyday on this site.  Details of the selection can be found in the Nature Photographer's Forums.

Anthony spent some time on Captiva Island, Florida with his family during the first part of April.  While it was vacation, he did manage to return with a few exciting new images.  We invite you to take a look at these new images now on display on the left hand side of this page or in the New Releases Collection of the site.  You may also visit the new blog for more information and stories about the images.

Anthony's new Blog and Facebook Page are now up and running!  He has created these forums for sharing new work, destinations, news, and thoughts for all who are interested in his work. These pages will be updated with his latest work with the hope of obtaining the thoughts and opinions of others before their release on this main site.

Anthony is pleased to announce that, along with his brother Nicholas, he will be heading to the Slot Canyons of Northern Arizona and Southern Utah in Mid May of 2009. This is one area Anthony has always wanted to explore because the terrain is unlike anything else in the world. Located mostly on an Indian Reservation, one must have a guide to navigate the endless series of caves and passes. The photographic opportunities are absolutely amazing for those willing to make the journey into the maze off twisted rock carved out by thousands of years of flooding and uplift. Many of these caves only have tiny holes or cracks in the ceilings allowing for small beams of light to penetrate the darkness at a certain time of day. This brief window of time where the light shines inside causes dramatic moods and spectacular shapes and colors to come to life on the quartz sandstone walls. Be looking for a New Slot Canyon Exhibit in the early summer of 2009.

Anthony is very proud to announce that two of his lynx pictures have been published in the March issue of BBC Wildlife.  BBC Wildlife is one of the most prestigious wildlife and natural history publications in the world, and it is a huge honor for Anthony's photographs to be published by them.  The March issue features a double page portfolio of this rare little cat trying to catch that duck flapping for its life.  BBC Wildlife Magazine can be found at most bookstores carrying international periodical sections.  We are now accepting preorders for the Limited Edition Prints of the Lynx Images, order online or please contact us for more information.

One of Anthony's biggest and most important projects, White Squirrel Studio, is now finished!  Anthony has overseen every exhausting detail of this state-of-the-art facility, and is very excited about the control and flexibility it will give him over every aspect of his work.  We encourage you to take a look at the White Squirrel Studio section of this website for more details.  Anthony will post pictures of the studio on the White Squirrel Studio page once he is moved in and setup.
