2016 Photobook Independent judging panel
As I announced last month, I was added to the judging panel as a photobook specialist for the Photobook Independent book competition. The judging occurred yesterday up in Los Angeles and it was an interesting event as well as a pretty daunting task in my opinion. I can not really reveal any results yet (soon!), but I was really impressed with the quality and diversity of the book submissions.
In the photo above, left to right, is Kirk Pederson, Chris Davies, Sarah Lee, yours truly, Marissa Caichiolo, Kio Griffith, and Sarah Hadley. Not included in the photo was Rudi Bianchi.
We are now working on a schedule for me to provide a curatorial walk-thru of the winning book submissions in conjunction with the other photobooks that will be available during Photobook Independent later this month in LA. I hope to announce that shortly, so continue to stay tuned.
Cheers!
