Landscape Plates to Pixels Annual Juried Showcase Juried by Chris Bennett

If a given combination of trees, mountains, water, and houses, say a landscape, is beautiful, it is not so by itself, but because of me, of my favor, of the idea or feeling I attach to it. ~Charles Baudelaire

Jurying an exhibition is always a daunting yet enjoyable activity. It is inspiring to see so much amazing work while at the same time difficult to whittle the images down and exclude work that is well executed. My attempt with the work selected was to include a variety of styles and interpretations of what a landscape might be while at the same time establishing a flow that connects the work visually. It was a pleasure to see new work from photographers I am familiar with and to discover many new image-makers whose work I will want to keep an eye on. ~Chris Bennett
