My Digital & Print Rejected Competition Images
Just like in 1863 Paris, when paintings by Gustave Courbet, Édouard Manet and Camille Pissarro were rejected by the Paris Salon, I again received the same from a Juried Photography Competition, sponsored by a local camera club. So in the tradition of the Salon des Refusés, here are my rejects.
Disclaimer: These prints are on my apartment living room wall and are NFS. It did get me out for the reception to visit and talk story. And flirt!

Dubious – “This Tap Dance Croc Rock thing doesn’t really work for me!”
Seen – “The guy with the long lens on a tripod – he looks legit.”
Tough – “Glamorous, my foot!

Cary Ballet Conservatory “Prix Challenge” – 6 Aug 2022
FedEx is tomorrow, delivering four 20×16 Prints on my favored Fuji Deep Matte Paper. On 3/4″ mounts, ready for the float frames I ordered. This is one that I hope I got right.
The latest version of these prints shipped from my lab today. So did the Nielsen Profile 13 Float Frames that will mount & place them on my apt. wall.
I saw a Herb Ritts Exhibit at Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, Oct. , 2016. Stuff you can’t make up – a 5 minute walk from our apt. in Marais.
Dry mounted prints on standouts in float frames. No glass or mattes. Nothing to get between the viewer and photograph. Meme chose.
Selling & moving forces a lot of decisions. My mental task list for the next week is full. Meanwhile, nutrition and sleep are still required. So are the tasks necessary to complete the transaction. An upside of my age is understanding the necessity of balance.
