“Time eventually positions most photographs, even the most amateurish, at the level of art.” (Susan Sontag, On Photography)
In Person Salon on Monday, November 11!
We will return to Tuesdays in December. Also, I will be in Seattle on the 11th. Steve Gentile will fly solo as master of ceremonies!
Ok, goes without saying, but:
Have you? Will You?
Monthly Photography Salon
I co-moderate two monthly photography Salons through the Center for Photography at Woodstock, which is now actually in Kingston, NY.
In Person Salon
Co Moderator, Steven Parisi-Gentile
Every second Tuesday of the month there is an in person salon at 7 PM at 474 Broadway, Kingston, NY. Photographers are encouraged to bring up to 15 prints of their work. We are especially interested in providing feedback to photographers working on a project or submission. The atmosphere is informal and supportive, with work being reacted to and discussed by the photographers present.
Virtual Salon
Co-moderator, Deena Feinberg
Every fourth Tuesday of the month there is a virtual salon. Photographers are encouraged to upload files of their work. We recommend a jpeg format of 2000 pixels on the longest side, and maximum of 144 pixels per inch. Use highest quality jpeg setting. Files should be named with the first and last name of the photographer and should be numbered in the order in which the photographer would like them to appear. So, First Name_Last Name_01, would be the preferred format. We are especially interested in providing feedback to photographers working on a project or submission. The atmosphere is informal and supportive, with work being reacted to and discussed by the photographers present.
Files can be uploaded here.
Join the Virtual Salon here.

I am planning to do this one… why don’t you join me?
Photo Place Gallery Call for Entries: Portals
For our purposes, a portal can be an architectural feature (a gate, window, doorway, mirror, tunnel) that frames or isolates or adds dimension to an image. In a fictional sense, a portal can be a magical doorway through time and space. Alone or in combination, they hold unlimited creative possibilities for photographers.
For “Portals: Windows, Mirrors and Doors”, we're looking for images that use any or all these devices in intriguing ways. All capture methods and processes are welcome.
