Montgomery Photo Festival Exhibition

**Thom Bennett** · 20-Jul-2023, 09:39

I have three 7x17 prints in the Montgomery Photo Festival Exhibition: https://www.montgomeryphotofestival....3-exhibit.html. The exhibit comes down next week but is moving to the International Art Center at Troy University just down the road.

The juror this year was Richard McCabe, Photo Curator at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. He chose "Charlie's Pawn" as Best in the Black & White category.

All of these are from an ongoing project throughout the small towns in the Atchafalaya Basin. Film is Ilford HP-5 processed in ABC Pyro and printed on LODIMA paper.

Thom, that is great, congrats. Are these contacts?

Nice work Thom! I'm so sorry I missed this, I just drove through Montgomery yesterday. Though I guess they would've been closed. I thought about messaging you while I was in NOLA last week but my wife and I were enjoying ourselves so much I didn't have time. We might come down for a day in December around Christmas though. Do you also show anywhere in the city?

Nice work, Mr. Bennett.

I love the irony in the subject mater in your set of pictures.

Corran, thanks! The show is moving to International Art Center at Troy University after next week but I'm not sure how long it will be there. Whenever you do come through NOLA feel free to reach out. Would love to meet up.

I will have two 7x17 images in the Louisiana Contemporary Exhibition at the Ogden Museum of Southern Art. That show opens on August 5 and is up until February 18, 2024. Hope you can see that exhibit!
