John Palcewski - Reflections — what’s interesting to me about this image is the repetition of the circular shapes; your head and white shirt collar certainly play into that. Emily Ferguson - scallop shell — it’s interesting to me how this is so broken yet so intact; washed up, deposited, cracked and yet together. Nice image of a small, small detail. Lea Murphy - Walking on the Moon — I am working with a photography mentor digging deep into my archive of images of childhood (mostly those of my sister’s children which have shown up regularly in this gallery over the years). A theme that has presented itself though this mentoring process is universe which repeats again and again in my work. I wasn’t aware of it until it was pointed out to me yet once it was noted it’s impossible to miss: how children fit into the universe, how they are a universe unto themselves, how a family is its own universe, how we all carry a universe within us. I was out with my niece when this glorious scene appeared before me. It is, indeed, a straight shot, and high on my list of favorite images I’ve taken. Mark Harris - Flowing Sand — The edge lighting contouring her is fantastic. Her gesture is so classic and perfect I wish she was a bit brighter in the image. Herschel Mair - Potty humor... that is all — These made me laugh. And then I thought “my goodness that’s a lot of bathrooms he’s been in!” A project is a project…who am I to judge! Dan Mitchell - Evening Light —I can see how you’d grab your camera and run outside to capture that! Nicely done and you’ve held tones in both light and dark areas…not the easiest of feats.
