Critical Mass 2013 Finalist List

I’m delighted to be on the Critical Mass 2013 Finalist List with new work from the Amazon River basin. Critical Mass, part of Photolucida, is an annual program which provides finalists the opportunity to have their work reviewed by a large jury of over 200 renowned photography professionals from around the world. Photographers submit a portfolio of ten images, an artist statement and a brief biography. The work is initially screened by a committee of 25 jurors to select the finalist. Their portfolios are then reviewed and ranked by the larger jury. One or more of the finalists is selected for a book award and after publication, the monographs are sent to all participants and jurors. This program is a wonderful opportunity for emerging and mid-career photographers to obtain crucial exposure and to promote their art. All Critical Mass participants receive a DVD of all entries and along with a monograph of their choice from the Photolucida library. The Photolucida Blog also provides some interesting insights to the current trends in photography.
