Prescott Moore Lassman says, “I am a photographer based in Washington, D.C. focusing mainly on black-and-white photography — somewhere between street and documentary with a strong dose of minimalism for good measure.  My subject matter and interests are eclectic, but my approach is mostly intuitive. I search for images that resonate, for moments of synchronicity in everyday life. Because this approach relies on unconscious triggers, my photographs are often richly symbolic, though their meaning is not immediately clear (at least not to me). For me, this is the essence of photography: capturing an image that resonates and then, over the course of months or years, figuring out why. 

The photographs submitted for Cycle of Life represent childhood, motherhood, and the later years of a woman’s life when child-rearing is over. All of these stages of life have their joys and their struggles. These photographs seek to represent both.”

Tom Chambers says of his series, “Tales of Heroines”, raised in a family alongside four brothers and the absence of sisters, my eyes were opened by my daughter’s growing up experiences from a girl to a teenager to a young woman.  

As a result, I am in awe of determined young women like my daughter who meet and negotiate both small daily hurdles and major life challenges. Their determination, empathy, and ingenuity in navigating a complex world make them heroines in my eyes.

My photographic series Tales of Heroinesis a collection of stories about the lives of young women told through portraits. The subjects squarely face the viewer and the images employ a consistent format with a low horizon line, vertical orientation, and arched framing which invites the viewer into the story. Using magic realism, the power of storytelling emanates from the details in the photomontages. The stories are intentionally provocative enticing the viewer to engage with questions about the Tales of Heroines.”

Photographer Tom Chambers was raised in the Amish farm country ofLancaster, Pennsylvania. Tom completed a B.F.A. in 1985 from The Ringling College of Art and Design, Sarasota, Florida, majoring in graphic design with an emphasis in photography. Since 1998 Tom has exhibited photomontage images from twelve photographic series both nationally and internationally in twenty five solo exhibitions and over seventy group exhibitions and art fairs.

Never Edit says, "Watching people has fascinated me since childhood... the variety of their looks, behaviour, expressions, and emotions. I tried to memorize what I saw, using my eyes as camera and my brain as hard disk. When I first heard of street photography a couple of years ago, it felt like I found "home". Saving that split second forever not only in my memory but as a photograph is what I've become addicted to.
 
When I go out, I have nothing specific in mind, I just shoot whatever I find interesting, and I prefer the candid spontaneous shot anytime over picture-perfect or posed photos.
 
Living in Germany, I feel restricted by the laws and the lack of good light, so I travel to other countries as often as possible to pursue my passion."
