Photography Now 2008: PQ

The Center of Photography at Woodstock has announced the artists for Photography Now 2008: PQ, their annual members' publication call for entries, juried by Jen Bekman of Jen Bekman Gallery, NYC.

Ms.Bekman reviewed over 3,000 images, making it a serious challenge to select only 6 artists! The photographers selected are: Colin Blakely, our own Rona Chang, Stacy Arezou Mehrfar, Chris Mottalini, Eric Percher, and Saul Robbins.

Stacy just recently made a new website, so be sure to see her work.

The CPW is an integral part of helping photographers with showcasing work, making work, and funding work. Be sure to check their websites for their photography opportunities!

The new crop of Hot Shots from the Jen Bekman Gallery were officially announced yesterday. Congrats to Yijun (Pixy) Liao and Cara Phillips to be among the five winners! I have conversed with Pixy through emails just by randomly seeing her work on Flickr and noticed we had mutual friends. She agreed to participate in a Nymphoto Conversation which will be published on Christmas Eve's Eve, December 23rd, featuring her project, Experimental Relationship.

The opening reception of the Hey, Hot Shot! (volume iv, edition ii) Showcase will be on Friday, January 30th, 2009, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Jen Bekman Gallery @ 6 Spring Street, NYC. Work will be on view until Saturday, February 14th, 2009.
