Review by curator Dianne Yudelson:
"For me, Diana Cheren Nygren’s photo “Bottled Water” speaks to each human’s independent situation within our societal multitude, especially during a time of worldwide unrest. Nygren’s elements of lighting, use of complementary colors and a composition which accentuates small versus large combine to illuminate and emphasize the importance of a singular human experience within society’s interconnected whole."
Dianne Yudelson asks Diana Cheren Nygren, "What brought you to photography?"
Diana Cheren Nygren says, "I got started with photography when I was in high school. I went to live with a family in Florence the summer after I turned 16. Alfonso, the husband in the family, was retired and spent all of his time pursuing fine art photography. My parents bought me a Pentax K-1000 camera for my birthday that year. While I was in Florence, Alfonso spent many afternoons teaching me about f-stop, aperture, and how to control light on film. After that, I was hooked. I studied the history of art, and after college took classes at the New England School of Photography in my free time."
Yudelson says, "Was there an initial inspiration and how has that changed over time?"
Nygren says, "As a college undergrad studying the history of art, I wrote my senior thesis on Diane Arbus. But while I was awed by her work, I think it was actually Cindy Sherman's work which had more influence on my own photographic practice. That practice has changed substantially over the years. One summer I saw to shows in Barcelona which I think were pivotal - Edward Burtynsky's quarries and Massimo Vitali's large scale beach images. Since then I have largely been interested in the power of images of figures within a landscape and the traces of human behavior on the landscape. They also drew me to the power of photographic images on a monumental scale."
Yudelson says, "I would love to learn more about your photo “Bottled Water.” What did you intend to express?"
Nygren says, "I am constantly taking pictures of people at the beach. I am fascinated by the way people behave at the beach, and I find there's something peculiarly beautiful about it. It was in this context that I took the photograph of the woman who appears in the photo "Bottled Water". It wasn't until I started working on the series "When the Trees Are Gone", of which this image is a part, and began pulling individual figures out of my beach photographs and placing them in urban landscapes, that the irony of this woman holding a plastic water bottle while communing with the ocean really struck me. It made her absolutely perfect for the series. One of the principle ideas of the series is that people who were absolutely relaxed and enjoying nature, water, and fresh air, at the beach, taken out of context, are now shown as searching for some sort of peace in an urban world shaped by climate change. In this context, her plastic bottle, and all of the plastic we dump into the oceans, is one key factor driving the climate crisis.
I also find her posture, standing on this structure for a billboard, to be like that of a landowner surveying his property. It is as if she owns this city and looks out over her domain. But the sky, lit a bright orange, implies that the city is on fire. The city is burning. It is burning in part because of her water bottle, but she is also helpless to quench the fire with this one little plastic bottle of water. As I constructed this image, I was also drawn to the way the billboard structure itself takes on a threatening quality. It reminds me of a canon. All of this makes it sound like the image is intended as a heavy handed admonishment to humanity. But I am actually optimistic that the climate crisis can in fact be addressed with thoughtful urban planning. There is something absurd about this woman in her bathing suit standing in the middle of Manhattan on a billboard clutching her water. I want the humor in the image to give viewers a way of accessing it that is not too foreboding."
Yudelson says, "What was your creative process (i.e. spontaneous, planned, constructed)?"
Nygren says, "This series is very carefully constructed, although from components which were more or less spontaneous photographers. "Bottled Water", like all of the images in the series, is a composite of three images, each from a different long term project. The graphic configuration of urban spaces, people at the beach, and dramatic skies and clouds, are all things that I photograph on a regular basis because I am instinctually drawn to them and can't resist capturing them with the camera. That process is more or less spontaneous. None of the original images was taken with any plan for this series in mind. But they constitute a source library of images that I then used methodically to construct stories about urbanization and climate change within photoshop."
Yudelson says, "What is your favorite and least favorite aspect of being a photographer working with the urban landscape?"
Nygren says, "I am a city girl. I am awed by and appreciate nature, but when it comes to a way of life, I am always going to opt for city living. And, like a good city dweller, I am always in a hurry. I love that photographing urban landscapes has made me slow down, look around, and notice. So much happen visually within a city that I think is incredibly beautiful. I wouldn't say it's my least favorite aspect exactly, but I definitely struggle in working with the urban landscape with combination of the fact that I am shy and that I prefer candid photography.
There is no escaping the fact that there are people constantly walking in an out of the frame, interrupting a shot, or changing their location and behavior before you capture the image. But more than that, I am generally self-conscious and try not to be noticed, not to call attention to the fact that I am photographing people, or god forbid anger them. Some of the photographers whose work I am particularly drawn to right now - Ole Marius Joergensen, Gail Albert Halaban, Alex Prager - make very deliberately staged images. I don't know whether my work will ultimately head in that direction, but learning to engage in a more comfortable way with other people while I'm shooting is definitely something I would like to work on."
More about Diana Cheren Nygren.
Nygren says, "This work is from the series "When the Trees Are Gone". Surroundings play a dominant role in shaping experience. Born out of three series, this project imagines city dwellers searching for moments of relief in a world shaped by climate change, and the struggle to find a balance between an environment in crisis and manmade structures. The beach becomes rising tides, threatening the very foundation of the city. The clash of nature and city results in an absurd profusion of visual noise and little relief. The resulting images lay bare challenges to city planners, and the problematic nature of the future that lies ahead for humanity and the planet."
Diana Cheren Nygren is a fine art photographer from Boston, Massachusetts. Her work explores the visual character of place defined through physical environment and weather. Place has implications for our experience of the world, and reveals hints about the culture around it. Her photographs address serious social questions through a blend of documentary practice, invention, and humor.
Diana was trained as an art historian with a focus on modern and contemporary art, and the relationship of artistic production to its socio-political context. Her emphasis on careful composition in her photographic work, as well as her subject matter, reflects this training. Her work as a photographer is the culmination of a life-long investment in the power of art and visual culture to shape and influence social change.

Douglas Hill says, "The series Separation Anxiety has grown out of the sensation that what I encounter in front of my camera is not accessible to me, that I will never be able to get any closer than halfway there, an impossible distance to cross. It's not clear whether this is a fault of mine or represents a shift in the world that surrounds me.
These images are my attempt to deal with the parallel fears of alienation and intimacy. I did not set out with the intention of locating that which made me feel separate from my environment, but rather stumbled across patterns in my everyday work that increasingly pointed to my sense of alienation.
I had been so sure my photographic endeavors were innocuous, and only in the editing process learned that the world I inhabited was slowly drifting out of reach, now on the other side of a barrier I can’t define, let alone see."
Douglas Hill was born to Canadian parents in London, England in 1950. At the age of five he moved to New York where he lived until coming to Los Angeles in 1968 where he still resides. He attained U.S. citizenship in 1990. Hill began making photographs in 1969. From 1971 to 1973 he attended UCLA where he studied with Robert Heinecken, Darryl Curran, Jerry McMillan and Leland Rice. In 1973 he went to Cal Arts where Ben Lifson was teaching.
Hill has taught photography at UCLA Extension since 1995 and has offered workshops and master classes since 2010. In 2011 he became co-director of Pasadena Photography Arts. He lives with Elayne Sawaya, his wife of 41 years and their poodle, Godfrey, in the Silver Lake district of Los Angeles.

BARBEE FAMILY PLOT by Elizabeth O'Connor
(Click on image for larger view)
(Click on image for larger view)
Elizabeth O'Connor says, "Fascinated with the idea of photography as a medium of documentation or of truth, I have long sought to alter the truths before me through a variety of methods: superimposing images, incorporating text, experimenting with alternative processes, combining alternative processes with traditional processes, using appropriated imagery, and incorporating personal mementos.
I have also been drawn to the works of people – particularly women - who have used their artistic mediums to tell personal stories in intimate ways, notably: Nancy Rexroth, Clarissa Sligh, Nancy Mairs, and Maya Angelou.
My recent work, Sacred Exposures, is a series of small, black and white photographic studies that both juxtapose and permanently fuse once-private and hidden familial cemeteries with newly constructed public areas in my adopted hometown of Morrisville, North Carolina, a small and rapidly growing suburb of the state capital. These familial plots were once hidden on ancestral lands but, due to recent growth/construction, have now become parts of very public places: in the middle of large neighborhoods like mine, along greenways, tucked into corners of school playgrounds and shopping plazas, located along busy thoroughfares, etc.
I have chosen to record these intimate places in small-scale Polaroids in order to work intimately and directly. The Polaroid film also allows me to create images that wax nostalgic while exploring topical and complex subject material, such as urbanization, gentrification, loss, dignity in death, exhumations, and reinterments."
Elizabeth "Betsy" O'Connor holds a Master's Degree of Fine Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and a Bachelor's Degree of Fine Arts from the University of Arizona (UA). Her concentration in both programs was in photography. She has also studied photographic illustration at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
Betsy is a full-time faculty member of the University of Phoenix (UoPX), currently specializing in helping students successfully transition into college life. She has also taught a variety of Humanities courses for UoPX.
Betsy served as an Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at Barton College in North Carolina for 8 years, where she chaired the Photography Department, a position that entailed facility design, curriculum development, and student recruitment, as well as teaching the full range of class offerings. While at Barton, Betsy also helped plan and implement the college's First Year Seminar Program, serving for one year as its director.
She has taught undergraduate photography courses for VCU, as well as continuing education courses for Chesterfield County, VA.
Betsy lives in Morrisville, NC, with her husband and two teenage children.

I have chosen to record these intimate places in small-scale Polaroids in order to work intimately and directly. The Polaroid film also allows me to create images that wax nostalgic while exploring topical and complex subject material, such as urbanization, gentrification, loss, dignity in death, exhumations, and reinterments."
Elizabeth "Betsy" O'Connor holds a Master's Degree of Fine Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and a Bachelor's Degree of Fine Arts from the University of Arizona (UA). Her concentration in both programs was in photography. She has also studied photographic illustration at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).
Betsy is a full-time faculty member of the University of Phoenix (UoPX), currently specializing in helping students successfully transition into college life. She has also taught a variety of Humanities courses for UoPX.
Betsy served as an Assistant Professor of Fine Arts at Barton College in North Carolina for 8 years, where she chaired the Photography Department, a position that entailed facility design, curriculum development, and student recruitment, as well as teaching the full range of class offerings. While at Barton, Betsy also helped plan and implement the college's First Year Seminar Program, serving for one year as its director.
She has taught undergraduate photography courses for VCU, as well as continuing education courses for Chesterfield County, VA.

HONORABLE MENTION
(Click on image for larger view)
Ellen Jantzen says of her series, 'Mid+West'
(A visual essay on adaptation and acceptance in relocation/immigration and migration), "Some say we are all immigrants but many indigenous people have lived in one location for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years.
In this series I am addressing the more recent acts of relocation. The place of one's birth greatly influences who they are but through moving, new foods, cultures, languages and landscapes await to reshape their very being.
I was born in the Midwest, but now reside in New Mexico. Even though I didn't
really encounter a great deal of differences in people there were subtle language
differences, definitely food differences and some culture shifts that required
adjustment on my part. The most profound change for me was the landscape.
Here I am blending photos from my years in the Midwest (mainly rural Missouri and
Illinois) with current photos I’ve taken while living in New Mexico.
I feel that one's landscape, whether rural, suburban or urban, can utterly reshape
them and how through relocation they grow and flourish. They become, in essence,
a blending of all former homelands with the present."

Kathryn Dunlevie says of her series, 'COVER VERSIONS', "I have always been intrigued by apparent inconsistencies in time and space, and by each individual’s shifting sense of reality. As I fracture and reassemble images to suggest the intrusion of alternate worlds, everyday scenes are transformed into compositions that hint at mysterious underlying structures and intangible extra dimensions.
Incorporating vintage record album covers into my process provides me with a trove of not-so-blank canvases replete with diverse textures and random elements from popular culture. Layering my photographs on top of this wide range of bizarre inspirational springboards takes me in unexpected directions.
As relics from our communal visual archive are overlaid with contemporary images, we seem to jump through space and time. With each 'Cover Version' I strive to suggest that dimensions, normally separate, have indeed collided."
Kathryn Dunlevie is a photography-based artist whose work has been exhibited throughout the U.S. and internationally. Cathy Kimball, former Executive Director of the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, writes of Dunlevie’s work:
"Through brilliant compositional detail and manipulation, she creates disconcerting, surprising, inexplicable spaces and scenarios – swimming pools that have many points of entry, streetscapes that elude mapmakers, and interior settings that are almost, but not quite, right."
Born on the east coast, Dunlevie lived in six different states by the time she was 12, and in Paraguay when she was 16. She has a B.A. in fine arts from Rice University, and studied art history and film at the University of Paris, painting at California College of the Arts, and photography in Madrid. She lives in Palo Alto.
Dunlevie has received numerous awards and fellowships, including two Arts Council Silicon Valley Artist Laureate Fellowships and an International Photography Awards honorable mention. Her work has been exhibited at FotoFest International since 2002, at the Pingyao International Photography Festival in China, at Studio Thomas Kellner in Germany, in the US Art in Embassies Program in Moscow and in Saatchi Arts’ Best of 2014.
Her work has been reviewed in Spain’s La Fotografia Actual, Korea’s photo + and Germany’s Profifoto, as well as in The New York Times, Camerawork: A Journal of Photographic Arts, Photo Metro, Artweek, and Artlies.

GASHERBRUM 29X40 by Katie Shapiro

(Click on image for larger view)
Katie Shapiro says of her series, 'Eight Thousanders', "This series of work explores the overwhelming task of living and parenting during the pandemic. In thinking about the current climate, especially related to motherhood, I've been inspired by fourteen mountains with the highest elevations in the world, otherwise known as the Eight Thousanders.
The Eight Thousanders are located in the Himalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges in Asia, and their summits are in the death zone, with sitting elevations of 8,000 meters above sea level. The mountains reach heights requiring supplemental oxygen for human exploration, and the death zone is the point where the pressure of oxygen is insufficient to sustain human life for an extended time span.
Being the parent of two young children is challenging even in the best of times, but with covid-19, the difficulty of this role is exacerbated. What is so unique in this time is that it is trying on everyone, just in different ways. There are times in parenting young children when you feel like you need to come up for air or can’t breathe.
Using found photographs depicting these fourteen mountains, I collage over the mountain images using colored lighting gels, producing works that amplify environmental impossibility, a metaphor of the physical and psychological weight of life under quarantine."
Born in 1983, Katie Shapiro received an MFA from the University of California, Irvine in 2015 and a BFA in Photography from CalArts in 2007. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at Kopeikin Gallery, Los Angeles, The Armory Center, Pasadena, Christopher Grimes, Santa Monica, Joan, Los Angeles and Aperture Gallery, New York. Her work has received coverage in Artforum, the Los Angeles Times, and New York Magazine and is housed in private collections as well as in the permanent collection at the Huntington Library. She’s been an artist in residence at the Banff Centre and at Bullseye Glass in Pasadena. Shapiro lives and works in Los Angeles.

Kimberly Adamis says, "As an LA-based artist/photographer I live in an ever-evolving and inspiring environment which motivates new ideas on a daily basis. My ultimate goal is to stir an emotion from the viewer; whether it be calmness, excitement, happiness or anxiety. I try to explore new color palettes, editing styles and techniques to keep my work fresh. I’m my own worst critic, it is extremely important to me to give each piece the time and attention it deserves. Photography and art are my life, well at least 99.9% of it."
Kimberly Adamis is an LA-based Photographer/Artist whose work spans over multiple medias. During the recent summers she's been traveling with Ann Wilson (of HEART) and HEART 2019 "Love Alive" Tour as their exclusive Tour Photographer.
When home she spends her time exploring other aspects of the art world. If she's not photographing other musical artists or shooting creative portraiture, you can find her tucked away in her studio painting, drawing or exploring new mediums.
Her digital "Photo-Art" has been displayed at LOS ANGELES CENTER FOR DIGITAL ART where she had a Solo Show as well as other showings throughout the years. Many of her pieces are on display in homes and places of business, as well on most social media platforms.

Kimberly Adamis says, "As an LA-based artist/photographer I live in an ever-evolving and inspiring environment which motivates new ideas on a daily basis. My ultimate goal is to stir an emotion from the viewer; whether it be calmness, excitement, happiness or anxiety. I try to explore new color palettes, editing styles and techniques to keep my work fresh. I’m my own worst critic, it is extremely important to me to give each piece the time and attention it deserves. Photography and art are my life, well at least 99.9% of it."

NAZI 1 by Kip Harris

(Click on image for larger view)
Kip Harris says, "These images were taken at a Neo Nazi rally in Salt Lake City, Utah in the summer of 1991. The rally took place at the Wallace F. Bennett Federal Building in the Central Business District. Perhaps 100 protestors had gathered. What stuck me was how young and naïve and angry they were. They were asking to return to a country that never existed and to have their sense of placelessness noted. Maybe they were simply looking for hope. They became Trump supporters."
kharris130@me.com
Harris grew up in a small farming community in Idaho. He holds degrees in English literature from Dartmouth College, in humanities from the University of Chicago, and architecture from the University of Utah. He was a principal of FFKR Architects in Salt Lake City for nearly 30 years.
A serious photographer since the late 80s, he has exhibited in the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe with four solo and over a hundred group shows. He has been published in Shots Magazine, The Photo Review, Smithsonian.com, Street Photography Magazine, Barren Magazine, aCurator, Life Force, and a number of on-line photographic sites.

BLUE INNER LANDSCAPE IN LOCKDOWN by Leila Ali
(Click on image for larger view)
(Click on image for larger view)
Leila Ali says, "As a Colombian artist who migrated to Australia five years ago, I explore my new country by appropriating imagery, particularly found photographs, and working with them to create new images. I like to believe that it is a way to built ties of belonging, making those forgotten memories significant to me as part of my present experience.
The series “Inner Landscapes” focuses on old landscape photographs, depicting different small towns around New South Wales – the State where I live-, which I found in my neighbourhood thrift stores. Since I got them, I was very intrigued by their history, so I decided to do some research. I discovered that the photographs were taken on the decade of 1910, a period afflicted by the Influenza Pandemic that has been the most severe pandemic in recent history. With that in mind, I have superimposed on them my own photographs taken from my window during the Covid-19 Pandemic lockdown in 2020.
As a result, I have brought together found photographs and personal images, both deeply meaningful, interconnecting different times and spaces into the same frame. A meditative painted intervention helped me to link the pictures tracing what I call "Inner-landscapes". With that, I established a dialogue with the sceneries present on the images, my own experience of place during the confinement, and the connections between two different times of the same land in the midst of a global pandemic. The final mixed-media photographs visually address the subjective meaning of the land, my new land, how it can be perceived, and what new memories it invites us to create."
Leila Ali (b. Bogotá, Colombia) is a visual artist and independent researcher interested in the medium of photography. Currently lives and works in Sydney, Australia.
Since the beginning of her artistic career, Leila has been interested in working-with-photography, focusing on vernacular found photography. In her process, she carefully alters those images employing strategies of mixed-media and collage to explore the photographs as objects. The physical connection between old analogue photographs and manual interventions allows Leila to create one-of-a-kind images that interrogate the complex relationship between photography, memory and identity.
Leila Ali studied her Bachelor Degree in Fine Arts at Superior Academy of Arts of Bogotá and completed two Master’s Degrees, in Cultural Studies at the National University of Colombia, and in Aesthetic and Art History at the University of São Paulo in Brazil. Her work has been included in numerous group exhibitions in Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, and South Korea.

HONORABLE MENTION
(Click on image for larger view)
Liv Mann-Tremblay says, "These three images are from a series called 'Flashes of Light'.
The images came out of the first lockdown to curb the spread of Covid-19 in the spring of 2020 when my partner, and two young kids spent so many hours together in our small apartment in Montréal. The on-going series explores our family dynamic, our always growing and changing relationships with ourselves and with each other, all in relationship with the island bubble world of our home.
This space has been our sanctuary since we moved to Montreal from England 6 years ago. I gave birth two both my children here and even though the walls of this building have literally crumbled and been repeatedly patched and repaired, this space is the protective egg that has nurtured our family.
The title 'Flashes of Light' is a reference to Anais Mitchell's song 'Cosmic American' which was on a mixed tape my partner made me when we first started dating."
Liv Mann-Tremblay is a documentary and portrait photographer from England. Her work is driven by research-led, self-initiated projects. She reveals personal stories with compassion, authenticity, power, and poetry.
Her projects include ‘Demo-crazy’: images and audio recordings reflecting the political unrest and uncertainty in Myanmar, and ‘Devil’s Garden’: a series of images that reflect on the external geographical landscape and the intimate internal perspective of the Saharawi people in exile in Algeria.
She has shot for charities and NGOS
around the world including Coaching For Hope, South Africa; WIZO, Israel; The Testimony Project, London and Medical Action Myanmar. She has shot campaigns for The Royal Opera House, Sadler’s Wells,
Penguin Books, Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital, Red Consultancy, Second Movement Opera, and fashion designer Sindiso Khumalo. She has produced work for record labels including Reclaimed Goods and Inch Time Records.
She now lives in Montreal, Quebec where she balances independent projects with commissions from charities, NGOs, commercial clients and private individuals. She is co-founder and project director of Studio De Grand-Pré collective.
Career Highlights -
Liv's work will be exhibited in SxSE Gallery's 'Love, and Loss, and Resilience' exhibition November-December 2020
Work from Liv's 'Even When It is Grey We See Further Now' series was exhibited as part of FORMAT's Mass Isolation project at The Auckland Festival of Photography, New Zealand in June 2020

(Click on image for larger view)
Lyudmila Zotova says, "These images were created as a result of looking closely at what was directly in front of me during the first few months of quarantine.
The bulk of my work is typically created by going far away from the city and into nature. While we were in the first few months of adjusting to our new way of life, going far away was not an option. I began to search for the nuances I often seek outside of the city to fill the void of not being able to escape. In turn, I found that combinations of nature, suburban details, and light ultimately took my mind where it wanted to go.
I was born in Peropavlavsk-Kamchtaskii, Russia and after immigrating to the U.S., have spent most of my life living up and down the West Coast. I am currently located in Los Angeles. Two years ago, I left the world of commercial photography to pursue fine art."
Career Highlights:
2019 - Published in Oranbeg NET 2.9, It's a Toss Up
2018 - Published in Oranbeg Press's What Will Suffice zine, curated by Tim Carpenter.
2014 and 2015 - photographed two travel books about Los Angeles, published by Emons-Verlag.

Malicious Sheep says, “I like to explore. I capture moments in nature that are often overlooked.
I take portraiture photographs of inanimate objects, flora, fauna, and fungi. I want to capture moments that are emotional. I enjoy finding repeating geometric patterns and matching palettes. I look for a musical quality in my subject matter. Something that vibrates and breathes. I want my photographs to give the feeling of stumbling upon a moment with much larger and complex story. Finding the beauty and balance in both growth and decay, I want to tell the stories of life forgotten. Spiders, insects, birds, plants, mushrooms, lichens and rust are the main focus of my photographic work.
I will wait. If there is a photo opportunity but a leaf is in the way of the shape I am trying to capture, I wait for it to be blown away rather than move it myself. I do not use flash or artificial lighting. I will wait for the right kind of light for the mood I am trying to capture. I work in all types of weather and take my time exploring the textural changes that occur after dew, rain saturation, snow and drought.
As a self taught multidisciplinary artist, I like to find connections and common threads between many fields of study within my artistic expression.
Maintaining the integrity of the spaces I intrude upon is crucial to me. My photographs are captured in situ, have not been photoshopped, staged or captured with artificial lighting. Raw all the way.”
“Malicious Sheep is a disabled queer multidisciplinary artist and photographer from rural Simcoe County, ON. The artist is self-taught in many mediums including, but not limited to drawing, painting, sculpture, fibre, mixed media, performance, assemblage of found objects, digital and time-based art.
Malicious Sheep has developed motor and mobility issues in recent years and had transitioned primarily to photography as it is the most accessible medium the artist can use at this time.
The artist's mobility issues necessitates the repeated examination and photographic documentation of wildlife within a half-acre property over time. Themes of study include; growth and decay, isolation, worth, as well as patterns and cycles in nature relevant to biomimetics.
Being descendant from craftspersons, clockmakers, ship builders, soldiers and scientists, Malicious Sheep draws from the skills and lessons of these professions and reflects them into artistic expression.”

Neelakantan Sunder says, "I am interested in exploring the nature and how we interact with her.
I enjoy experiencing nature through the lens that include landscapes and wildlife. Living in the Northeast of US, I look forward to photographing in the ever-changing seasons. In my travels around the world I have found the importance of preserving wildlife and the environment. The narrative aspects of photography is a great way to educate ourselves about various cultures and the political issues of our times.
I am a retired anesthesiologist and worked at Mass General Hospital/Harvard Medical School for 36 yrs. I continue to teach as a volunteer in various countries around the world. This has given me access to several cultures in a way that I have never imagined.
Changing seasons with its unique landscapes and lighting in very much a part of New England where I live. Spring and summer have gone by and we are in the tail end of fall. I have chosen images from the last few months for “This Land is Your Land”.

I enjoy experiencing nature through the lens that include landscapes and wildlife. Living in the Northeast of US, I look forward to photographing in the ever-changing seasons. In my travels around the world I have found the importance of preserving wildlife and the environment. The narrative aspects of photography is a great way to educate ourselves about various cultures and the political issues of our times.
I am a retired anesthesiologist and worked at Mass General Hospital/Harvard Medical School for 36 yrs. I continue to teach as a volunteer in various countries around the world. This has given me access to several cultures in a way that I have never imagined.
Changing seasons with its unique landscapes and lighting in very much a part of New England where I live. Spring and summer have gone by and we are in the tail end of fall. I have chosen images from the last few months for “This Land is Your Land”.

HONORABLE MENTION
(Click on image for larger view)
Olga Merrill says, "I consider myself a lens-based visual artist. I use photography as a tool – like an instrument to make music or a brush for painting – to create an image of my vision, with a dreamy and indirect relationship to external reality. I do this in varying styles.
Some images are essentially representative photography of the world around me that nevertheless dissolve into the wonder of abstract pattern, while others are complex manipulations of the ordinary visual world that use intentional camera movement, multiple exposures, and well planned color palettes to reflect my vision, dreams and feelings."
Olga Merrill is an Maine based self-taught visual artist primarily using the medium of photography. Photography was a hobby for her father, and she remembers the smell of chemicals from being with him in his darkroom. Who knew that after more than 35 years from her first brief touch of photography, she would become an artist and visual art started playing a significant role in her life?

(Click on image for larger view)
Paul Sisson says, "'Not So Far From Here' is a unique photographic portrait of the Western American landscape.
The images seek beauty in non-traditional places, show a crumbling rural culture and find humor in simple and subtle ways. The project emphasizes the journey, rather than the destination, and explores the things that can be found by slowing down and taking in the world that lies beyond the tunnel vision that so often dominates our daily lives.
Over the last several years, Sisson has been collecting these scenes during open-ended, unplanned road trips throughout the Western states and beyond. Originating from his home in Colorado, he has traveled through 21 states and driven over 28,000 miles spanning 21 separate trips since 2012. With an emphasis and enjoyment for the process, Not So Far From Here is a thoughtful look at life on the open road."
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, Griffin Museum of Photography, and been published in Fraction and Lamono Magazines. Paul is represented by Michael Warren Contemporary in Denver, CO and his ongoing body of work, Not So Far From Here, can be found on his website.

Samantha Riggin says, "The Era of Covid has pushed me to delve deeper into my thoughts and soul.
Long drives on backroads in Virginia and West Virginia, where I sought escape from the monotony of self-quarantine, resulted in my admiration for all of the places, structures and people who, despite turmoil and decay, remain solid, beautiful, and important."
Samantha Riggin is an advanced amateur photographer who gravitates towards exposing intricate layers within abandoned and old landscapes through the camera’s lens.

HONORABLE MENTION
(Click on image for larger view)
Susan Ressler says, "America is divided, fractured and in crisis. I live in New Mexico, a mostly rural state that always votes blue, despite strong red strongholds in the south.
We avoided much of the chaos of the Coronavirus until now (when it is spiking), and as I watch the election results roll in tonight, I’ve decided to select recent photographs that mirror the national divides here at home.
Taos, New Mexico is renowned for the arts and its progressive politics. One is reminded of “Easy Rider,” Dennis Hopper, and their legacy. But today, even in Taos, this rebellious spirit is in question.
My photograph “Covid Shopping” depicts a woman in a red dress against the American flag and a large banner featuring Coca-Cola and Hatch Chili. We see the vernacular, beloved green chilis, placed within this larger patriotic context. “Poets for Peace” is paired with “Black Lives Matter,” which one might expect to see in Taos, yet on the same day “Bikers” and “Cowboys” for Trump rode through town and staged a rally next to our Courthouse. Shades of “Easy Rider” were turned upside down! I hope these three photographs highlight some of the conflicts our nation and the world are grappling with in these difficult times."
Susan Ressler is a photographer, educator and author. She has been making photographs since the 1970s, and her work is in the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Library Archives of Canada, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and the Harry Ransom Center, among other important collections.
During 50 years of making photographs, Ressler's work has consistently forged two themes: social documentary (with a concomitant focus on social justice), along with more subjective experiments that explore nature, spirituality and personal growth.
She has photographed Canadian First Nations peoples (early 1970s), vernacular traditions such as livestock auctions in New Mexico (mid-1970s), and financial elites in the Mountain West (including Los Angeles in the late 1970s through 1980). This last work forms the basis of her first monograph, Executive Order: Images of 1970s Corporate America (Daylight Books, 2018).
Ressler has received two NEA (National Endowment for the Arts) fellowships. She has been recognized by the Critical Mass Top 50, and has exhibited nationally and internationally and has shown at more than 100 venues. Her work has been widely published and reviewed, most recently in the New York Times, Financial Times, Esquire and the Economist. Above all, Ressler is a concerned and compassionate photographer who, through empathic critique, seeks to raise awareness and promote justice for all.

BLUEBERRY by Susie Forrester

Susie Forrester says, "As my world became smaller, the world around me became larger.
This past March, businesses were shuttered, campuses emptied, travel slowed to a halt and we all hunkered down in our homes to protect our selves from the looming pandemic.
Stay inside. Wash your hands. Social distance. Wear a mask.
Each day I’d walk out my front door to greet the day and breathe the air. I’d walk around my yard, pull a few weeds, admire the sprouting plants, and just look. The eerie quiet was almost palpable. This newness was new for every one of us, no exceptions.
I missed not going to the gym. My photo jobs were canceled. Life as I had known it was interrupted.
I’ve been taking photos of my garden for a few years now. Each day I walked in my yard, I looked a little longer, a little deeper. I always prided myself on being observant and appreciating the little things in life. But there were a lot of distractions too: scrolling through social media, buying things I couldn’t afford and didn’t need, browsing the internet distracted by shoe sales, YouTube videos and whatever caught my eye.
The slowed down pace of the pandemic started to slow me down too. I started to shoot more with my macro lens, which is like looking through a microscope. I began looking not just at a flower, but the inside of the flower, the architectural design of the flower, the movement in the flower, the different stages of the flower. What life! How could I have not noticed these little things before?
The wings of a fly are intricately and beautifully designed like a fine etching. The back of a lady’s mantle leaf is like a scalloped shell. The stalks and stems of many of the flowers and vegetables are hairy, like hair on an animal. The wing of the katydid looks like a green leaf. I never felt more connected with the world around me than during this pandemic.
This quiet ritual of walking outside, simply looking, was a walking meditation for me. It brought me to a closer union with the world around me
I understood what St. Francis of Assisi meant when he called his fellow plants and animals, brother and sister. It was his true connection…for real. It is something I felt with the subject when I photographed it…wonder, respect and acknowledgement. It seemed like, in some small and very quiet way, we communicated. Respecting each other. Many writers, poets, ecologists, naturalists and saints have written about their experiences in the same way. I believe we are all connected and that all beings and all parts of nature contain the divine.
The photographs are a quiet invitation to step closer, when we are all being asked to step back and keep distant, these quiet moments are a call to move inward, become more intimate with the world right around us. A call to look deeper and appreciate the subtlety of a spider’s web, the intricate design of a cicada shell, the beauty of an ant walking atop an unopened peony flower, the circuitous pattern inside of a zinnia flower, the repeated spirals on a growing cucumber vine, the hairy, delicate stalk of the lady’s mantle. Move closer, pause, behold, and move closer again. It is always moving and always changing. Becoming a part of this landscape has fortified my hope."
Susie Forrester has been a photographer since receiving her first camera at the age of 12. She has worked as a freelance photographer since 1992, photographing weddings, pets, portraits, college campuses, landscapes, circuses, and much more.
Susie has studied under photographers Larry Fink, Debbie Fleming-Caffrey and photo critic John Szarkowski. She also was a studio manager and printer for Larry Fink for 6 years. She has taught photography at Blair Academy in Blairstown, New Jersey and at the Baum School of Art in Allentown, Pennsylvania. She also teaches private photo workshops.
Susie’s photographs have appeared in numerous exhibitions including:

It is something I felt with the subject when I photographed it…wonder, respect and acknowledgement. It seemed like, in some small and very quiet way, we communicated. Respecting each other. Many writers, poets, ecologists, naturalists and saints have written about their experiences in the same way. I believe we are all connected and that all beings and all parts of nature contain the divine.
The photographs are a quiet invitation to step closer, when we are all being asked to step back and keep distant, these quiet moments are a call to move inward, become more intimate with the world right around us. A call to look deeper and appreciate the subtlety of a spider’s web, the intricate design of a cicada shell, the beauty of an ant walking atop an unopened peony flower, the circuitous pattern inside of a zinnia flower, the repeated spirals on a growing cucumber vine, the hairy, delicate stalk of the lady’s mantle. Move closer, pause, behold, and move closer again. It is always moving and always changing. Becoming a part of this landscape has fortified my hope."

Suzanne Theodora White says, "I have always been profoundly connected to the land and understand that it has been the memory keeper of our planet. I purchased a farm in Maine in late 1970’s, and when having a survey done on the property, I was surprised to discover that the land had once been in my family during the 1850’s. As I walk the property, I can feel the geologic and human energy of what has come before as I contemplate our future during this time of upheaval.
‘The Unguarded Moment’ series is a diary of these walks around the farm as I observe and document seasonal and climatic changes. I gather elemental gifts that appear in my path—bones, animals, sticks, moss, rocks, all make up a new visual language of a place I hold dear and a world I fear we are losing.
These totems make me believe in magic and miracles, in time travel, ghosts, hope, and reincarnation. They are elegies, memorials, celebrations, and gifts of promise. I think of my land, in the words of Carlos Castaneda, as a Power Spot, holding sacred the ghosts of my familial legacy and offering me comfort in my own mortality, as I bear witness to the incremental and dramatic changes to my land, and the capacity of an artist to speak for the earth we inhabit.
There is a ball of twine in my chest
I am pulling at a loose thread
My chest opens with a giving,
Tug.
The Heart beats
The hawk waits
For the Unguarded Moment."
Suzanne Theodora White is a visual artist living on a farm in Appleton Maine with her husband, 5 dogs, sheep, ducks, and chickens. Her practice focuses on the fragility of the planet and documents the seasonal and climatic changes to the land, with a particular interest in the connection of place and spirit.
She received her BFA from Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston where she studied painting. Her work is informed by her experiences traveling the globe, from surveying bird populations in the Amazon, to an 18-month solo expedition overland around the world. Currently she is pursuing an MFA from Maine Media Workshops and College. Her work is represented in private and public collections in the United States and Europe. Recent Highlights
