The title of this publication is from a beautiful and seductive quote by Daido Moriyama, "If you were to ask me to define a photograph in a few words, I would say it is “a fossil of light and time.”
Moriyama continues to be such an instrumental figure in the art of the photo book, it seems only natural to base this publication on his use of the interplay between extremes of the real and the ideal; bold, stark unpredictable images of life in the streets and in anonymous places. DCCP's "fossils of light + time" exhibition speaks to that space between images not yet taken – memory and photography captured in a 30th of a second. – Juror, Elizabeth Avedon

"His prints are not only super grainy but also dark and heavily over-inked but suitably strangely composed for their subjects – a feral dog fills a large frame and in Moriyama’s new book, faces an equally feral man, crouching on a pavement; in the Tokyo streets and roads, he hones in on rubbish bags, wet pavements, crashed cars printed as dark as negatives, and lit up factories and skyscrapers which veer to abstraction." – WPO: Sue Steward on Daido Moriyama here

Detroit entries submission question? Size and DPI is mentioned but not format, Jpeg or Tiff?
Roy Feldman: Send jpeg/s for submission/s. We'll check with the selected artists before printing to make sure we have the right file type/profile.
Trying to submit as it is still the 26th Deadline...the slideshow portal and submission guidelines are not working even though I paid the $30 fee. Any help?
Thanks in Advance.
