Composed 2017

Texas Photographic Society and PhotoPlace Gallery partnered to co-sponsor this themed call titled "Composed", juried by Sam Abell, photographer, teacher, author and artist. A veteran "National Geographic" photographer, Abell is well known for his meticulously framed photographs and often references his father’s inspiring visual training from childhood that led him to “compose and wait” for an image. This catalog includes all the thoughtfully composed photographs chosen for exhibition at PhotoPlace Gallery in Middlebury, Vermont.
