March 27, 2008 - Louisville, KY, Greensboro, NC and Basel, CH: Falcon, Senior Partner and Founder of NyghtFalcon, announced today that Dakota, NyghtFalcon’s Director of the Midwest Region and Director of the firm’s new Fine Art Print Group, has been awarded First Place in the Interiors Category of the annual Photography Competition sponsored by the Shaker Workshops of Ashburnham, MA . Dakota’s photo of the Trustee's Building's Spiral Staircase at Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill will appear on one of the four covers of this year’s Shaker Workshop Magazine – a publication which serves to keep Shaker traditions and craftsmanship alive.
“In the sixteen months Dakota has been with us, his artistry and his sense of time and space have opened new vistas for all of us at NyghtFalcon,” said Falcon when he announced Dakota’s award last week. “We are immensely proud of him, not simply for his artistic vision but also for all that he has accomplished since he has been with us. His sense of organization, his experience and business acumen, his ability to offer younger photographers guidance and insight, are all invaluable.’
