2015 JURIED PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION
2015 call for photography

2014 Juror ~ Tony Florio

Tony FlorioJUROR’S COMMENTS

Congratulations to PineRidge Arts Council on its 1st Juried Photography Exhibition! It is an honour to be the juror for this first-rate competition and I would like to thank the PineRidge Arts Council for inviting me.

Given the large number of entries and some scheduling challenges, I was assisted by Lance Gitter, an accomplished photographer and experienced judge, who did the initial screening. My sincere thanks goes to Lance for his valuable help.

I enjoyed the opportunity to see and judge images of such a wide variety of subject matter and was impressed both by the artistic and technical qualities of the top images, particularly in the adult division.
Although the subject matter of the entries was diverse, I did notice an overall scarcity of portraits. I would also recommend that a greater emphasis be placed on attracting youth entrants in future exhibitions.
Congratulations to all the winners and makers of accepted photographs!

To those who did not receive an acceptance – don’t be discouraged, but consider this a learning experience. Photography is a continual journey of learning. And the more you practice to hone your skills, the better your images will become.

Most of all continue to enjoy your photography!

Tony Florio has been an avid photographer for over 40 years. He is a published photographer who has won numerous awards for his outstanding images.

Accredited as a judge by the Greater Toronto Council of Camera Clubs, Tony is an active board member and past president of the prestigious Toronto Digital Photography Club. Over the past 12 years he has gained invaluable experience and demonstrated exemplary skills in his judging for both local and international competitions. He is widely recognized for his objectivity, his impartiality, and his understanding and appreciation of both the technical and artistic merits of what makes a great photograph.
PRAC could not have found a better individual to serve as juror.
