The Juror for the 23rd Annual Members Show is Lewis Kemper, a widely recognized photographer, writer, and instructor, who lectures throughout the United States. Currently, he is a Contributing Editor to Outdoor Photographer. Kemper was the photographer for Ancient Ancestors of the Southwest, published by Graphic Arts Center Publishing, and his monograph Capturing the Light won the People’s Choice Awards in Fine Art in the 2009 Photography.Book.Now competition. Kemper’s Photographing Yosemite Digital Field Guide was voted in the top 20 field guides, and his DVD, My Stretch of the River: A Photographer’s Journal, features a year’s worth of photography and journal entries on the American River in Sacramento. His recent publications include the photo guide apps, “Yosemite National Park SNAPPGuide” and “Yellowstone National Park SNAPPGuide”.
A Best of Show cash prize of $950 will be awarded, as will two Merit Awards for free tuition for a FOTOfusion Passport or a Master Workshop. This year’s winners will be announced at the exhibition’s opening reception on August 24.
