FINDING THE LIGHT
Juror: Don Ross, fine art and commercial photographer
Deadline: April 7, 2014

Photography - from the Greek words meaning "to write with light." As all photographers know, light is an essential component of any photograph. In FINDING THE LIGHT, we will feature photographs whose success as visual images rests on the careful awareness and use of light, whether natural or artificial. The exhibition juror, photographer Don Ross, will choose 40 photographs for display at PhotoPlace Gallery from July 8th through August 1st. Don will also select up to 35 additional photographs for the gallery's Online Annex. All selected work will be included in an exhibition catalog available for purchase. To help artists defray costs, PhotoPlace Gallery offers to mat and frame work selected for exhibition free of charge, providing artists print their images to our pre-cut mat and frame sizes. Submission fee: $30 for five photos, $7 each additional photo.  Click here for details


THE HUMAN-ALTERED LANDSCAPE
Juror: Russell Lord, the Freeman Family Curator of Photographs at the New Orleans Museum of Art
Deadline: May 5, 2014

In 1975, the landmark exhibition, "New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-altered Landscape," debuted at the International Museum of Photography at George Eastman House in Rochester, NY. Included were such important photographs as Robert Adams, Frank Gohlke, and Stephen Shore, with work that challenged the primacy of wilderness landscape popularized by Ansel Adams and the Sierra Club. Typical of the photographs were images of human presence in the ladnscape, ranging from houses in subdivisions in Denver by Robert Adams to a water tower under construction by Gohlke. For the PhotoPlace exhibition THE HUMAN-ALTERED LANDSCAPE, we hope to update the spirit of "New Topographics" with photographs that envision the interactions between humans and the natural world. Buildings, bridges, barns, dams, towers, fences, roads -- any merging of human presence with the natural world is valid.

We are honored that Russell Lord, the Freeman Family Curator of Photographs at the New Orleans Museum of Art, will be the juror for this exhibition. He will choose 40 photographs for display at PhotoPlace Gallery from August 5 through August 30th. He will also select up to 35 additional photographs for the gallery's Online Annex. All selected work will be included in an exhibition catalog available for purchase. To help artists defray costs, PhotoPlace Gallery offers to mat and frame work selected for exhibition free of charge, providing artists print their images to our pre-cut mat and frame sizes.
