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."

MOON RISING by Dale Niles
HONORABLE MENTION
(Click on image for larger view)
HONORABLE MENTION
(Click on image for larger view)
Dale Niles says, "I have taken photos for over 40 years, from film to digital, from wet darkroom to the digital darkroom of the computer.
Photography is one way that I am able to experience the moment and reconnect with myself. I am quite eclectic in the subjects I choose to shoot, anything is fair game. I look to create a story when I shoot or create an image. I like to spin a tale.
​
My wish is that my imagery creates an intimate conversation that takes the viewer to a place of quiet contemplation because it is my visual representation of conversation and feelings.
My photography creates a legacy of all the things that I am privileged to experience in my time here. The fragility of life is a catalyst for me to do what I can to preserve it one shot at a time and in doing so I hope that it says that I too existed. I had an accident when I was younger where I nearly lost my sight in one eye and I believe that has made me want to visually soak up everything I see and preserve it.
​
I was born in Norfolk, Virginia and raised in small North Carolina towns. I spent my younger years moving from place to place as my dad was a civil engineer who designed bridges and my family moved once the job was completed. Since graduating from college I have moved around from Virginia to North Carolina to Tennessee and I now reside in Fayette County Georgia."
Dale Niles is a Georgia based artist born in Norfolk, Virginia. She is known for her diverse photographic interpretations from her black/white and color photographs to her montage storytelling collage photographs.
She received her BA in sociology from Lenoir Rhyne College in Hickory, NC. Upon graduation she interned as a probation officer but realized this was not her calling. While doing several other vocations she continued her personnel interests which included painting, sculpting and photography, realizing that photography was her art of choice.
She has exhibited across the United States, Canada and Venice, Italy and Paris. Horace Williams House in Chapel Hill, NC; Brickworks Gallery in Atlanta, GA; and Cochran Gallery in LaGrange, GA. Her works are part of the permanent collections at MOCA GA. She has had work exhibited at Rfotofolio's Depth of Field Exhibition-Center for Photographic Art, Carmel, CA, Civic Center-South Bend, Indiana and Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL.
Niles has been featured in publications including Lenscratch, Shots, The Hand Magazine, Oxford America, SXSE Magazine, Light and Shadow Magazine

HARBORS DREAM by Olga Merrill
HONORABLE MENTION
(Click on image for larger view)
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?

IT'S NOT FAIR by Liv Mann-Tremblay
HONORABLE MENTION

HONORABLE MENTION
(Click on image for larger view)
Liv Mann-Tremblay says, "These 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.

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."

COVID SHOPPING by Susan Ressler

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.
