2023 JUROR'S COMMENTS
To all photographers and photo art lovers. It was an honour to review the photos
submitted and to be a part of the displays now on exhibit. Photography is an
ever-changing art form that forces you to keep learning and adapting. You can
see that in the photos that were submitted. Every genre was covered from creative
to nature to landscape to street.
I look at photography as a study of light as much as a study of content. Many of
the photos submitted stood out because of the way the photographer saw the
light and used it to their advantage.
One of the pieces of advice I try and pass on is to ask yourself “why did I take
this photo?” If you can ensure that the viewer can answer that question you are
halfway there to a great photo.
Another thing to remember is that photography judging is very subjective. Don’t let a bad score or a negative critique deter you from taking more and more
photos. A proper review of a photograph should outline the good and what can
be improved. We all can have our egos bruised but if you can just take the accurate
parts of the review and use it to improve your craft you will find more and
more photos that become your favourites.
Congratulations to all the people who opened themselves up and submitted
their work. I also want to compliment the photographers that will win an award
tonight. I got inspired just having the chance to look through your photos.

The O or D rings should be securely installed on the FRAME.
The metal buttons/tabs that hold the backing into the frame MUST be fully into the frame.
If you are looking for "D" rings for your artwork, you can find them at Home Depot and Rona.
If you are using frames with built in tabs on the backing, please be sure they are securely inserted into the groves on the frame. Glass and matting can off-set the connection.
