Juror's Pre-Jurying Comments:
It is such an honor to be the 2009 Juror for the Texas Photographic Society Annual show. I take this role seriously and promise to review every single submission closely and intensely with fresh eyes and an open heart. My love of photography is all consuming and deeply rooted. As a maker of images I understand the intense dedication, discipline and passion that goes into each piece we put out into the world.
I would love see your very best work; the images that you can not believe you have made. All genres of photographic inquiry are welcomed with open arms. A strong marriage of content and formal concerns are paramount. I would love to see that you are using all of the photographic tools available to the highest level to visually communicate your ideas.
Ideally, although not exclusively, I would like to see work from a series/portfolio of 10-15 images from which select pieces will be chosen to represent the body of work. A short concise project statement relating to the submitted body of work would also be appreciated. I am looking for work that is non derivative and contains soul.
