Since the inception of photography, 170 years ago, techniques have changed and processes have evolved but the one constant has been the view camera. From the age of the Daguerrotype to the present age of digital imaging the view camera has been the instrument of choice for discerning image makers.

The New Orleans Photo Alliance is seeking contemporary imagery from photographers using large format view cameras. Steve Simmons, publisher of VIEW CAMERA MAGAZINE (www.viewcamera.com) and author of USING THE VIEW CAMERA will choose four images each from five different photographers. The five photographers chosen will also be published in a future edition of View Camera Magazine.

The deadline for submissions will be midnight Monday, February 1, 2010 and notification of accepted artists will be Monday, February 8, 2010. Deadline for delivery of accepted work (matted, framed and gallery ready) will be Friday, March 26, 2010. The opening reception will be Saturday, April 3, 2010.

Hmmm... a contest with entry fees but no prizes?

[Thom Bennett]

We normally have our jurors select First, Second and Third and give some cash awards but for this one we thought that since it will be a small group show (Five photographers) that we wouldn't do that. The prize will be getting your work published in View Camera Magazine for each of the five photographers. And the entry fees help support the New Orleans Photo Alliance, a non-profit arts organization.

Deadline is one week from today! A great opportunity for large format photographers to exhibit their work in our beautiful Garden District gallery in New Orleans and get published in View Camera magazine.

We had a great turnout from the Large Format Forum community and some great work was submitted. Next step is the jurying process which will take about a week. I'll keep you posted on the results.

Results? Decisions?

[Thom Bennett]

Actually, we are going to be delayed in the notifications. I will send an email out later today to all the entrants but basically we had over twice the submissions than we expected so it is going to take a bit longer to go through them. The reason we initially wanted to have an exhibit showcasing large format work was to show that view cameras are as relevant in today's image making as they ever were and that was proven, not only by the number of submissions but by the quality as well.
