Juror's Statement and List of Award Winners
Bob Lerner, photojournalist and freelance commercial photographer will be the Juror for this Photography Show. A sixty-year retrospective, "A Lens to the World", was recently held at the Chrysler Museum of Art, in Norfolk, Virginia.
Judging this exhibition has been an honor and a pleasure. I believe there is a lot of high quality work here -- work that reflects the artist's personal vision. The criteria I apply in judging are the same standards I use to evaluate my own work as well as the students I mentor. First, there must be an understandable idea. To quote Ansel Adams "One thing that distresses me is a sharp picture of a fuzzy concept." Second, I believe a body of work of three pictures that holds together is a very good measure of the artist's talent. Thirdly is the presentation -- good print quality, framing and matting always enhances the work. I would like to express my congratulations to those of you that have received recognition, and I encourage all of you to continue to pursue this wonderful art. |
