JUROR'S REMARKS
What a wonderful selection of images to jury! 676 images were submitted by 121 artists which meant the selection process was extremely competitive—around a 7% chance of being selected for exhibition. Even after my fourth run-through of all works submitted, half of the images were still in the “yes” folder. Quite a few artists had multiple strong works in their submission, too, which makes it even harder to choose only one out of their submissions.
As said in the call for artists, my juror’s eye was geared to the contemporary expression of alt pro today—where are we in 2023? Trends are a conflation of printmaking, silver gelatin, and traditional alt pro. Processes are moving into experimental filmmaking as well (i.e moving imagery as in Dominic Rivers’ super 8). Many processes are multiply combined (see list below of all process entries*) in process and in concept. Witness Davis’ “quilt” out of stitched lumens, Potter’s faux Polaroid which is actually a toned cyanotype print. Cyanotype is the most practiced process—this may seem obvious today but cyanotype was not popular in the 1800s/1900s—but cyanotype is now used in many combination printing processes, printed on all kinds of surfaces (Sally Chapman’s Maiden Box), and—the newcomer on the block, thanks to Annette Golaz’ book—tricolor cyanotypes are now being made by printing three layers of cyanotype on top of one another with one layer toned yellow and another red along with the blue. Experimentation with process and material is growing, i.e. it’s not only about a perfect print anymore. Printing cyanotype and either Vandyke brown or salted paper in combination is always a crap shoot because the two processes war with one another, but Nancy Dodd pulled it off. I was surprised to not see bromoil and chrysotype represented, perhaps because they are not widely taught these days—I’d like that to change!
I looked for images that were technically well-executed, and that the process chosen made a good “marriage” with the subject matter. The print also had to be as strong visually as its concept. The final selection is based on images that stuck in my mind through repeated viewings over a few weeks. This speaks to a work’s staying power and connection.
Represented in the show are these processes: albumen, anthotype, color film, distressed color film, cliché verre, cyanotype, cyanotype over inkjet, cyanotype over ziatype, encaustic, gum bichromate, gum over cyanotype, halochrome, hand colored silver gelatin, liminagraphy, lumen, monotype, mordançage, platinum/palladium, platinum/palladium over copper leaf, Polaroid, toned and etched type 55 Polaroid, polymer photogravure, salted paper, silkscreen, silver gelatin and lumen, super 8 of cyanotype and mordançage, tricolor cyanotype, Vandyke brown and cyanotype, wet cyanotype, wetplate collodion.
I thank the Texas Photographic Society for allowing me to jury this show. I am in awe of the artwork produced today by all of the submissions, not just the fifty artists selected for the show. It was quite informative to my ongoing alt research as to concepts and processes relevant today and to also know that alt pro is alive and well and growing.

JUROR'S REMARKS
Thank you to the Texas Photographic Society and to everyone who entered into this year’s annual photography open call for giving me a really special opportunity to think about the ideas, processes and practices that are creating the ecosystem of photography in Texas and around the world, and I loved every second of viewing your work. Many congratulations to the awardees and honorary mentions, whose work I am so glad to begin to get to know. It is always a sign of the health of a photographic group or community that it was strikingly multivalent, and dynamically speaking to the many ways in which photography communicates human perception and the questions we ask of ourselves and the worlds we inhabit. My eventual selection of the mandated maximum of 50 works for the exhibition took multiple rounds of editing because there was quality and genuine creative and imaginative threads that wove between practically all of the entries to this year’s open call. I ended up with a final selection where each work was resolved on its own terms but also seemed to resonate with a deep appreciation, observation and inventiveness in describing human experience and the power of our senses. Collectively and thanks to all of you, I would describe my selection as a whole as an emotional and hopeful celebration of what we are, what we see and our power to be seen.
