JUROR’S COMMENTS

I was honoured to jury this year's PineRidge Arts Council photography exhibition. My goal was to include as many photographers as possible and have a diverse representation of subjects and style. Jurying can be a challenging task, but one that is always a rewarding experience. This gave me an opportunity to see the vast and impressive photographic talent in the community. Many thanks to PRAC and all the participants, as well as congratulations to the selected photographers and award winners.
