Norman Aragones says, "The main paradigm in my photographic art revolves around the concept of depth (having some level of meaning within the photo and thus attempting to elicit a viewer's reaction through deliberate imagery).
My hope is that the viewer comes away with some feeling, idea, and/or perspective from seeing my photo(s). The techniques I use in creating photographic images are not something specific. I just try to work diligently in creating something in particular (that I had envisioned previously in my mind's eye)."
Norman was born in San Francisco, California. As a young person, he learned how important art was in his life. He was sickly throughout much of his childhood. Thus, he had to learn to use his imagination, and it fueled his creativity in art. Currently, he is experimenting with numerous photographic theories and techniques in an attempt to express ideas in a meaningful way visually.

Ora Buerkli says, "As a street photographer the human spirit is at the core of my work. It is the motivation and the reward for a hard days work in the streets.
After years of exploring many different photography genres I discovered a few years ago street photography and knew that I have found my space. I love roaming the streets, looking for the unusual in the usual, I love the encounters no matter how short or wordless, and i love the discovery of new places and people. The camera has become an important key to new worlds, adventures and experiences
I had the honor to participate in several group exhibits curated by Women in Street Photography and Exxplore Vision. I have also received a silver medal from Paris International Street photography awards contest. Two of my photos have been selected to be part of the DPSP street volume 2 collection."

Paul Sisson says, "In the ever-growing expansion of technology, where websites and apps are pristinely designed for easy use and accessibility, Craigslist stands as a remedial virtual bulletin board that hasn’t changed its look in twenty years of existence. Craigslist is used for an endless amount of community listings; including buying and selling unwanted goods, job postings, and real estate.
One of the most interesting, yet seemingly least useful, aspects of Craigslist is the Missed Connections page. There we find listings upon listings of men and women who have had a brief encounter with someone, a potential connection or interest, and for one reason or another were unable to act on it until they got home to their computer. These Missed Connections can be funny, sad, poignant, and beautiful all at the same time, but one thing they are never is dull.
My photographic version of Missed Connections takes a look at these oddly hopeful pursuits. Going to the scene of the missed connection and providing a glimpse into the moment that love at first sight was realized, and just as quickly lost. These voyeuristic images, paired with the original listing, provide context and objectivity to the fleeting romanticism experienced by the author."
Paul Sisson is a 2013 Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography graduate from the University of Colorado Denver. Originally from Minneapolis, MN, he currently resides in Arvada, CO. His work has been shown across the United States in a wide array of solo and group exhibitions and publications.
He has recently shown work at the Masur Museum of Art, Jackson Hole Center for the Arts, the Center for Fine Art Photography, Griffin Museum of Photography, and been published in Fraction and Lamono Magazines.
In his artistic practice Paul is interested in exploring how people interact with the world around them, from dusty Western towns to urban dating websites, and finding the hidden beauty within those relationships. Paul is represented by Michael Warren Contemporary in Denver, CO.

Curator Michael Rababy says, “I've noticed that I've always drawn my camera toward children and older people. maybe we are so busy in middle-age looking for a partner, or trying to make money, that we don’t have time to be whimsical or get lost in a moment. I feel like this image absolutely captures a window into the soul of these two girls. there is an inherent silliness but also a depth in their eyes. the black and white really makes this timeless and reminds me of the humanist photographers from the beginning of the 20th century. the heart necklace is a nice bonus.
Does this image fit into your overall body of work? If so, how?"
Prescott Lassman says, "I’ve got numerous different bodies of work spanning different genres of photography, including documentary, landscape, street photography, and even abstract. But my primary body of work has focused on my family and feelings about family life, culminating in a long running series called “Domesticated Animals.” The series explores the inherent tension at the heart of domestic life between conformity and connection. Some of the photographs focus on the less than idyllic aspects of family life – the roles we are forced to play, the masks we are taught to wear, the needs and desires we sublimate (and sometimes don’t), and the tremendous pressures we must bear to maintain our happy domestic lives. Others indulge a more sentimental view of family life, highlighting the tender, silly, fun and quiet moments that sustain families through all the trying times. I’ve never included this photograph in the Domestic Animals series, but on further reflection I think it fits nicely within that body of work by highlighting both a silly family moment and a small act of defiance.
To me, this tiny defiant gesture signals a move away from conformity and towards independence - a natural progression. In other words, I think it nicely captures the inherent tension between conformity and connection that the series as a whole explores."
Rababy says, "Was it hard for you to select images for this theme of “the human spirit"? Does this theme resonate with your style and general work you create?"
Lassman says, "Yes and no. It was not hard to find images that fit the “human spirit” theme but it was quite difficult to narrow them down to only six images for submission to this call. And I was particularly surprised to find that there were multiple images that fit the theme from many different projects and bodies of work. I think this is because when I shoot, I’m generally trying to capture images that resonate on an emotional level. And I am also drawn to situations that focus on the more absurd or silly parts of human life — which is where I think the “human spirit” really shines through. So I have to conclude that the theme of “the human spirit” resonates strongly with my style and general bodies of work."
Rababy says, "What are your thoughts on color vs black and white?"
Lassman says, "I have been firmly in the black and white camp for most of my photography career and thus have not given much thought to working with color — until very recently. I think that is because I started doing photography seriously before the advent of digital photography, and developing my own black and white negatives and prints seemed a lot easier than developing color negatives and photographs. I think it is also because most of the serious photographers I was exposed to, admired, and aspired to be like — Andre Kertesz, Eugene Smith, HCB, Dorothea Lange, Weegee, Gordon Parks, and Elliott Erwitt — worked in black and white.
I of course knew that there were other serious photographers working in color, but I was always drawn to the work of photographers working in black and white, particularly the documentary and street photographers (which is one reason I’m thrilled that you likened Smooshface to the work of humanist photographers from the beginning of the 20th century!). When the iPhone came along, I began taking color photographs like everyone else, but I always viewed my color photography to be for just family snapshots and vacation photos, not for “serious” photography, which was reserved for black and white. That view, however, is beginning to change.
I bought my first digital camera for street photography a few months ago and am beginning to explore color photography as a creative outlet. I’ve also recently been using color photography for some abstract work, and I love the results. My first love is still (and will always be) black and white analog photography, but I’m excited to begin exploring color and digital photography to see where that leads."
Additional reviews by past curators:
"In “Smooshface,” Prescott Lassen captures so much in this single image. There’s the delightful capacity for quirkiness in these girls, mixed with the defiant contrast in the expression between the eyes and the mouth of the older girl and the younger girl’s mimicking of her sister though with her eyes saying something of her own both to the one taking the photo and also to her sister.
He does all this via the strength of his technique in composition where the two halves of the image add other layers, almost mirroring each other while holding an independence of their own. In addition, his technical skill transparently captures the girls clearly while not letting the glass their lips were pressed against to be glaring or distorting."

"There will always be a welcome space for photos of kids-as-kids, but particularly now in this semi-post-Covid time it’s like a sweet breath of normalcy and a reminder of the enduring nature of childhood.
Compositionally there is a nice alignment of the kids’ heads and the railing and a slight counterbalance with the walkway."

"'Smooshface' by Prescott Lassen underscores an important human bond for me, a bond that has been catalytic to my survival during the pandemic--the bond of sisterhood, family and love."

More about Lassman:
Lassman says, "I am an amateur 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 have always been drawn to the writings of Carl Jung and his students, and I view my photography as a Jungian exercise in synchronicity. In other words, 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 here are likewise eclectic but nevertheless have a common thread: they all reflect the human spirit by capturing that spark in people who are comfortable in their own skin and fully committed to enjoying the moment."

(Click on image for larger view)
SameSource is a photographic artist with over two decades of professional experience recording images. SameSource fine art photography spans both landscape and bodyscape, often exploring human sexuality and its relationship with art. With recent showings from FotoFever, Paris, France, to Art Basel, Miami Beach, SameSource was recently featured in a major show of the series, Reinterpreted, at Fabrik Projects Gallery in Los Angeles.
The accompanying book of the same title received an Honorable Mention at the Lucie Foundation’s International Photography Awards in the Best Fine Art Book category in 2020. SameSource served as Artist in Residency for 2019 by GilsfjordurArts in Westfjords, Iceland, received the international Lumiere Award for fine art nude photography, 2017, and was featured in Coagula Gallery’s Los Angeles Ten Top Artists exhibition for 2016 in a show curated by Tulsa Kinney of Artillery Magazine.
In addition to being included in over 100 exhibitions in galleries and fairs around the world, SameSource work has been featured in The Huffington Post, Artillery Magazine, American Photo, two documentary films by EMS ARTS, and has twice been profiled by Silvershotz International Magazine of Contemporary Photography, as well as being one of 25 international artists featured in the magazine’s 2017 Folio of Fine Art Photography (ISBN: 9781642049985).
In addition to being featured in numerous photography books, SameSource is the author of six fine art photography books, Underside (ISBN: 9781006723667), Reinterpreted (ISBN 9780464052890), Objects of Ruin (ISBN: 9781320134194), Apples (ISBN: 9781366155986), Apples Reinterpreted (ISBN: 9781366155856), and The Green Dress (ISBN: 9781388795016).
With origins in the rural Midwest, the artist studied music and philosophy in a liberal arts education before traveling to Italy and becoming immersed in the works of the Renaissance. A return to the US brought the pursuit of graduate work in music and cinema, with an eventual arrival on the west coast via the prestigious University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts.
In addition to full-time work in photographic fine art, SameSource output has included notable works as a recording artist, writer, and filmmaker. SameSource is represented by Fabrik Projects Gallery in Los Angeles and Sin City Gallery in Las Vegas.

Sepp Van Dun says, "These images are a selection of the 25 images of my exposition Fragile - もろい. More info can always be found on my website if necessary.
More than one million Japanese lock themselves up to avoid all social contacts. More than 40% of the Japanese population is single. Japan has the lowest birth rate in the world. Many Japanese young people no longer feel like having sex. Intimacy in the broad sense of the word is available in all sizes and colours. In 2019 I visited Tokyo for two longer periods, with my focus on connection, intimacy and social contact.
Keeping distance, 'social distancing' as we now know it, is the rule rather than the exception. It is as if Japanese society is permeated with an existential loneliness, which we as Westerners like to deny. Meanwhile (covid), we have understood that keeping our distance serves the collective interest, and we can ask ourselves whether it is the subordination to the community that breathes Japanese society.
Career highlights:
Hong Kong Stillness
"In 2015 I created a small series of color photographs depicting people and structures in Hong Kong in various states of stillness, capturing the quieter moments of transition in the daily life of the city’s inhabitants. I noticed that people seemed to accept the transitions in their frenetic urban lives in an almost poetic way. Employing soft colors and drawing on the city’s pattern of ever-present lines, I translated this observation into stylized images that evoke an atmosphere of air and light, and in which silence reigns. What remains when the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong dies down, when the city transitions from a state of intense activity to a state of stillness, is silence.
La Roumanie, douze points
In 2007 Romania joined the European Union. After ten years of slight progress, the most corrupt country in Europe is again heading in the wrong direction. By recent judicial reforms, the inability to fight corruption is increasing.
In March 2017 I took stock through a road trip through Central Romania. It became an adventure as I imagined it. Distrust was the common thread throughout my trip.
In my series "Romania twelve points, la Roumanie douze points" I wanted to create an atmosphere of a country that needs work. But Europe can."

More than one million Japanese lock themselves up to avoid all social contacts. More than 40% of the Japanese population is single. Japan has the lowest birth rate in the world. Many Japanese young people no longer feel like having sex. Intimacy in the broad sense of the word is available in all sizes and colours. In 2019 I visited Tokyo for two longer periods, with my focus on connection, intimacy and social contact.
Keeping distance, 'social distancing' as we now know it, is the rule rather than the exception. It is as if Japanese society is permeated with an existential loneliness, which we as Westerners like to deny. Meanwhile (covid), we have understood that keeping our distance serves the collective interest, and we can ask ourselves whether it is the subordination to the community that breathes Japanese society.
Career highlights:
Hong Kong Stillness
"In 2015 I created a small series of color photographs depicting people and structures in Hong Kong in various states of stillness, capturing the quieter moments of transition in the daily life of the city’s inhabitants. I noticed that people seemed to accept the transitions in their frenetic urban lives in an almost poetic way. Employing soft colors and drawing on the city’s pattern of ever-present lines, I translated this observation into stylized images that evoke an atmosphere of air and light, and in which silence reigns. What remains when the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong dies down, when the city transitions from a state of intense activity to a state of stillness, is silence.
