SOHO PHOTO GALLERY
15 White Street, NYC
Wednesday - Sunday, 1-6 pm 

I was honored to be this year's juror for  the 2015 National Competition for the Soho Photo Gallery. Paul Kessel's somber beauty "Entering The Metropolitan Opera" is the First Place winner. His image stayed with me like the atmosphere of a 70's era Winogrand scene. For 2nd Place, I chose Yorgos Efthymiadis’s "Net" from his "Letting My Guard Down" body of work for it's serene, solitary empty space and color. 3rd Place, I was deeply drawn into the unusual landscape by artist Mark Roussel from his series "Finding and Losing My Father." All Honorable Mentions; Ben Altman, Sheri Lynn Behr, Jennifer McClure, and Robert Moran, along with all the photographs accepted into the exhibition, represent my interest and love for fine art photography as well as portraiture, landscape, street and travel work...read more HERE

It is a great show. I know, I flew in from SF just to be there for the reception. It was very hot and humid. We all sweated together for the pleasure of seeing the art.

Great show Elizabeth Avedon. So glad I could be there to meet you and enjoy the show. There is nothing better than seeing an excellent curated show of prints on the walls of the historic SOHO Photo Gallery.
