Prospectus for New Directions 2011

The Portrait: "Moments of Being"

As photographers, we look for faces and expressions that tell stories. We look for character. We look for emotion.

We look for the hook, that moment of being that creates a compelling portrait. Like a modern physiognomy, a portrait tells a story equal parts subject and photographer in a single moment.

As the curator of this show, I will be looking for portraits that are edgy and daring. I want more than the traditional head shot. I want to see work that pushes the boundaries of what is normally called a portrait. (Please note: For this show, my interests are not in photo-journalistic photographs of the homeless, the needy, or third world subjects)

Photographs by Emmet Gowin and Sally Mann (for example) show a trust and a relationship between the photographer and the subject. There is a connection that is clear to the viewer; this is what I am looking for. I will also be looking for unique styles and interesting compositions. The images might be quiet, honest, sexually charged, or pure. These portraits, color or black and white, should convey a unique and powerful moment of life.

Best of Show: Blurb book credit to create your own monograph

Juror's Choice: A featured portfolio in Fraction Magazine

Director's Choice: Center's Review LA 2011 portfolio review participant

SPE National Conference | Atlanta, March 2011

2011 SPE National Conference

Science, Poetry and the Photographic Image

Since its inception, photography has been inexorably linked to science. The connection is not limited to optics and chemistry. The very heart of the scientific method: exploring, observing and recording, is paralleled in the working process of photographic artists. The objective is often the same in each, to come to a better understanding of and relationship to the world around us. So too is the goal of the poet, to delve into life, embodying and revealing that experience. The language of each relies upon their respective compelling and evocative qualities to convey a shared experience and understanding of our world.

Atlanta, GA
March 10-13, 2011 @ Sheraton Atlanta Hotel

Keynote Speakers: Abelardo Morell
