Title: Glowing Fortress, 2019
Medium: Digital File, Inkjet Photographic Print / Dimensions: 52"x 38"
Statement: “This is the well-known and often photographed Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao Spain. From this angle and in this light, it struck me not as a repository of fine art for the public to see but as an unwelcoming fortress, foreboding and almost medieval with its many curves and angles discouraging attempts to scale its heights. Wonderful golden hour light warms some areas of the cool metal surface adding dimension and impact to the structure.”

Title: Candy Land, 2016, no contact
Medium: Digital File, Inkjet Photographic Print / Dimension: 42" x31"
Statement: “I consider myself a ‘photographic cross trainer’, capturing a wide variety of topics. It generally comes down to what excites me at the time. I love to show the beauty of nature, and our place in it. My photographs highlight different components of the Canadian landscape. My hope is to make people take a second look at the world around them and truly enjoy their good fortune. ‘Candy Land’ is a photo that I took during an afternoon walk on the grounds of the Winona Peach Festival in 2015. The young boy seemed to go into a trance when he saw the Candy Land booth.... This black and white image has a quaint timeless quality, leaving us to wonder in what era was this photograph taken.”

Title: Lillium, 2017
Medium: Digital File, Inkjet Photographic Print / Dimension: 20” x 20”
Statement: “I have always been intrigued by the "architecture" of nature. I find the details both perfect and imperfect, fascinating. It is a study of all of nature's intimate beauty.”
Artist: Glen Jones
Title: Admiral Quarters, 2019
Medium: Digital File, Inkjet Photographic Print / Dimension: 20 x35 vertical
Statement: “I was first attracted to this location because of its unique graphics and simplicity. The strong diagonal lines heading off in different directions complimenting the horizontal lines at the bottom. The two circular port hole windows add balance. The three vertical vents at the top right add interest by their repeating patterns.”
Artist: Keith Marshall
Title: Stairs to the Penthouse, YEAR
Medium: Digital File, Inkjet Photographic Print / Dimension: 30”x 22”
Statement: “Strong colours, a diagonal line & vertical & horizontal lines all add to the drama of this image. The blue object is a large storage tank and the orange & red, are shipping containers. Careful choice of what to include produced a strong composition.”
Artist: Dennis Martin
Title: Red Lantern, 2017
Medium: Digital File, Inkjet Photographic Print / Dimension: 38” x 24”
Statement: “While walking the trails in the wooded area of Lawson Park I came across this lantern. At first, I thought it have been abandoned. I liked the scene so I made this image. I did some post processing to achieve the look and the feeling I had while in the area

Title: God Bless America, 2016
Medium: Digital File, Inkjet Photographic Print / Dimension: 20” x 20”
Statement: “Shot in Brooklyn in 2016, this image is an apt metaphor for the state of the country to the south of us. Much of what once made it a proud beacon for democracy and freedom has sadly deteriorated. The flag in the window of this rundown property suggests hope that there is still a beating heart inside and former glory is more than a memory.”
Artist: Tom Stephens
Title: Saturday Evening Riverside Park, 2005
Medium: Digital File, Inkjet Photographic Print / Dimension: 20” x 30"
Statement: “Walking in New York's Riverside Park on a rise of land, I had a great vantage point on this girls' soccer practice. It was a late summer afternoon and the long shadows, backlighting, and warm colours cried out to be captured. This image has won a number of awards including internationally.”
Artist: Tim Story
Title: Snow Prince, 2016
Medium: Digital File, Inkjet Photographic Print / Dimension: 20” x 30”
Statement: “I was in Algonquin in the winter, looking for foxes. On this frigid -38 below day, I spotted this fox sitting in the snow. Foxes are curious and opportunistic, I’ve had the kits come up and chew on my boots.”
