Congrats, Keith!

I'll toot my own horn and mention that I also got a LF photograph into this year's Yosemite Renaissance show. Image attached. (8x10 platinum/palladium print)

Anyone else?

Surely only to be expected from the 'Humboldt County Ansel Adams'

Congrats to both.

Surely only to be expected from the 'Humboldt County Ansel Adams' ...

Ouch!

I do recommend to everyone to consider entering next year. The competition is tough...less than 10% get in. A committee goes through all entered works and pulls out what they consider to be the best works that represents the artistic vision of Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada mountains - rather than just the 'prettiest' pictures, paintings, etc). I remember a photograph of Half Dome made from tofu one year! (Half Dome, not the photograph, was made of tofu, just to be clear.) The committee is very interested in the artists' experiences of Yosemite and the mountains as expressed through their art.

The show helps fund art in Yosemite.

Once the work is on the walls, then a juror(s) go thru the work and pick the prize winners...though just getting into the show is an award. The show is up in the Valley for a month or so before traveling around a few CA spots.

I saw this show a few years ago--it had some nice things in it. I think I saw Ted Orland's toy camera photo there for the first time.

Congrats Vaughn. I have a nice reflection of the Half Dome in a puddle, but it was taken with a bridge camera....and 5x7 would be the ultimate print . But, the shot (FF) of the same from Olmsted Point has way more promise. I'm too close to it and need someone else to edit it. Maybe I need better edit tools ???

Time is the best tool -- especially time on the wall. I figure if I do not continue to look at my work on my walls, no one else will give it more than a couple seconds on a gallery wall.

Congratulations to you both! Way to go!
