The folks who decide what print is accepted and what is not are a puzzle. My tastes tend to run to what Brooks Jensen publishes in Lenswork, and it appears many if not all the "Art" professors and the like do not have my tastes.
A show I went to last weekend had a judge that was the head of a Univ Art dept, who chose some pretty weird stuff for the show, only maybe 10% of what I like, the rest pretty much gimmicky.
Is my reaction common among LFers? I don't have a problem with people liking whatever they like, but this guy was bored by things that would be printed in Lenswork, calling such "cliches", where I would be impressed by the simple feeling produced by the images that Brooks chooses.
Perhaps the choosing of judges is what I need to research??
