Janet Worne, one of the gallery's newest members, has received top honors at the Annual New Mexico Photographic Art Show (ANMPAS). Janet's photo "Friends" won first place in the category of Portraits and Human Interest.
Janet is a 27-year veteran of photojournalism who, in recent years, has turned her camera to the cultural and natural beauty of New Mexico. In writing about "Friends," Janet said that "for every action there is a reaction." And while most photographers would focus attention on the fire, Janet looked for a human reaction.
She found it when a firefighter unexpectedly shook hands with the family dog. Janet writes: "The dog was upset and confused. He tried to get back into the house but an animal-loving firefighter took the time to distract him. I only saw this scene unfold because I took my attention away from the fire itself long enough to find a reaction."
This year, for the first time, every member of the gallery was juried into the prestigious ANMPAS show, including Robert Crespin, Bill d'Ellis, Rebecca Golding, Melissa Lea, Pat O'Brien, Tom Spross, Gale Sutton, Janet Worne, and Kim Ashley. Altogether, 16 classic images from gallery members are on exhibit and for sale at the show.
In addition, one gallery member, Robert Medina Cook, was selected to be among five master photographers in New Mexico to serve on the ANMPAS jury. The judges evaluated over 400 anonymous images submitted by 150 photographers, selecting only the very best for exhibit. Robert also has three images on exhibit and for sale in the Judge's Show Room.
The ANMPAS exhibit showcases the very best fine art photography in New Mexico. The show is open to the public from December 5 until December 28, 10-5 pm each day, except Tuesdays and Christmas. The show is located at the Fine Arts Building at EXPONM. Enter the grounds at the Copper/San Pedro gate. For more information, visit the website at www.anmpas.com.
