A multi-year effort - "Thrown from the Past" a photographic study of a closed silk mill in western Maryland - was selected as a Critical Mass Finalist for 2014.

A black and white version of the lead image of the series (one of the main throwing machine lines) was a nominee in the 2014 Black and White Spider Awards for 2014 in the Fine Art category and recently juried into the Vermont Photoplace Gallery's Black and White exhibition by juror Karen E. Haas, Lane Curator of Photographs, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. It was also accepted into the A Smith Gallery's "forgotten" exhibition by juror Blue Mitchell.
