Creator/Curator a show curated by resident HungryMan and photographer Robin Juan. This show is an experiment on the values produced in our digital age. Using the Internet as an interface to examine the value of a photograph in the hands of the image-maker. Through a call for entries on various different websites and forums, participants were asked to submit one of what they considered to be their best image despite their training or background. Everything was blogged on yourbestimage.blogspot.com. From the submissions 16 images have been chosen that are indicative of a photographic dialogue. We see landscape, portraiture, snapshots, still life, elegant compositions, spirituality and time. These images represent styles, thought processes and forms that will continue to prosper and develop in image making despite technologies. What we are making photographs of are more important than what we use to make photographs.
Work by Wayne Bertola, Andrea Canalito, Jonah Ewell, Bill Guy, Meredith Heuer, Kari Irwin, Kyle Johanson, Mackenzie Katter, Charlie Madson, Andrew McClintock, Joe Panizzo, Annie Purpura, Laura Raferty, Augustin Rebetez, Olivia Swider and Virgil Wong.
