Exposure: A Photography Competition

[rob_strong1]

Hey everyone, there's a competition that I recently entered that you might want

to know about, at www.artistswanted.org. They seem pretty legitimate, the site

is well made, and it's $25 to enter.

 

I also realized that the most hits I've ever gotten at my own website were from

Photo.net, so I thought we might share some Large Format solidarity here and

fairly rate each others entries (evidently, the judging process incorporates

public ratings). For what they're worth, my four offerings (all 4x5), are

viewable here:

Others who have entered the contest, feel free to hijack this thread with links

to your own portfolios, and let's spread the LF love.

 

 

Cheers,

 

Rob Strong

I looked at the featured artist and I am not only not impressed but disgusted. That doesn't include your images Rob.

I wish there were a way to view other people's portfolios without a direct link to them, because I agree with you, Robert, the featured artists aren't blowing me away. What keeps me optimistic about the competition as a whole are the judges (including a Times picture editor and a gallerist that I've heard of) and the sponsors (Photoshelter, JPG magazine, and so on). It just doesn't feel like a fly-by-night operation to me. And there's only one way to raise the level of the entries, and that's to submit.

Any event that allows, advocates or otherwise implies - even if unintentionally - food

for pedophile thoughts is under-developed intellectually and unworthy of artistic

respect. No one wins. And besides, the whole "expressing my sexuality" thing is way

over-done to the point of passe, and a bit juvenile, don't you think? I'm going to pass.

Rob's stuff is good, though.
