Zach Miners says, "I am a content strategist, writer and award-winning photographer currently based in Boulder, Colorado, where I work for a major technology company.

Much of my street photography and other personal photography work is focused on spotlighting everyday life moments and uncovering new meaning in the world around me.

My digital prints, self-made silver gelatin prints and Polaroids have been exhibited in galleries and cafes throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California.

Since graduating in 2006 from Fairfield University I have worked both as a journalist and as a content strategist for a variety of companies across the United States.

METROPOLIS by Wayne Swanson
FIRST PLACE
(Click on image for larger view)

Curator Juliet Haas says, “Of all the incredible images submitted Wayne Swanson’s ‘Metropolis’ most resembles the idea and mood I want to feel when looking at an image IN THE CITY. It is dark and gritty and luscious. I am reminded of a brisk day wearing a down parka, biting wind on my face and freezing fingertips, one moment out of the frenzy of a walking pace that says you’re in a hurry but you have to stop to gaze in awe at the magnitude of the scene. I can almost smell it. A lonely alley full of mystery and dark secrets, the sound of a train racking along its tracks breaking against the horns of automobiles and the din of voices clashing with the air. I want to be there.

Thank you Wayne for sharing this wonderful image and offering up the vision of just such an experience. 

I’d love to know:
When did you first fall in love with the City?"

Wayne Swanson says, "As a kid in the suburbs, my first fond memory of the City, in my case Chicago, was riding the El into the Loop with my grandparents to see Santa and the giant Christmas tree in the soaring atrium of the Marshall Fields department store. The wonder of downtown with its tall buildings and hustle and bustle stayed with me. But I fell in love with the city when I moved into a city neighborhood after graduating from college. That’s when I came to understand that the city is much more than tall buildings. Experiencing the vitality and diversity of the neighborhoods, each with its own identity and character, impressed upon me the rich fabric out of which a city is made."

Haas asks, "What does the City represent to you?"

Swanson says, "The city is a place that has it all. Wealth and poverty. Magnificent skyscrapers and humble homes. High caliber museums and cultural opportunities. Professional sports teams to root for. Racial and ethnic diversity, with all the social, cultural, and culinary variations that go along with it. Walkable neighborhoods and mass transit. And if you’re lucky, and elevated rapid transit system. I still miss Chicago’s El as the best way to experience the diverse wonders of the city."

Haas asks, "How do you integrate mood and environment into your work?”

Swanson says, "Black and white is my favorite tool for setting a tone or emphasizing specific elements. My image Metropolis is a perfect example. I shot it in color on a dreary grey day, and it was such a disappointment to me that I passed over it until several months later. When I finally took a second look and converted it to black and white, it came alive. I love the control black and white gives me to accentuate elements of form and structure and to create an evocative atmosphere."

Additonal Reviews from past L.A./N.Y. Photo Curator jurors:

Fran Forman says, "I agree with Juliet Haas about this image.  It captures the scale of New York, with all its grit, noise, and frenzy. Yet placing the Liberty Tower in the center reminds us of the tragedy of 9/11, accentuated with the black cloud floating above this beacon of hope. Congratulations to the artist. Magnificent work!"

Mara Zaslove says, "Bravo, Wayne!  
This is a captivating image that has mood and perspective.  It draws you in towards the light and also embraces the contrasting darkness of the city below.  Oftentimes when walking through a tunnel of tall buildings, one only experiences the bustling of the people packed on the street and forgets to look up.  Your capture manages to embrace both aspects of "the city" and invites one to explore it further. Kudos.
www.marazaslove.com

Wayne Swanson talks about his entry:
"To grow up in Chicago is to grow up with an appreciation of architecture that is missing in much of America. Chicago celebrates its rich heritage, as well as the interplay of old and new. The city taught me the value of artfulness in the built environment. Although I no longer live there, I relish each return. It’s a pleasure to walk the streets of the Loop, look up, and capture the conversations — original Chicago School architects finding common ground with generation after generation of new architects."

Wayne Swanson is a fine art and documentary photographer living in San Diego. He is drawn to imagery related to time, memory, atmosphere, a sense of place, and a subtle sense of humor. Born and raised in Chicago, he is a graduate of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. His career has included writing and photography for newspapers, magazines, book publishers, and corporate clients. His fine art photography has been included in juried exhibitions in Los Angeles, San Diego, New York, Boston, Houston, Fort Collins, and more.

Untitled by Todd Bradley
(Click on image for larger view)

Todd Bradley says, " “An Ordinary World” examines and highlights architecture from cities around the world. I have digital manipulated the images to focus on the details of the landscape or buildings that often are ignored after one viewing. By pulling colors from within the image, I reflect the energy and spirit these structures bring to the cities in which they live."

Todd Bradley (1970, Detroit, USA) is a contemporary macro | digital photographer currently residing in San Diego, California. He works with dioramas alternative portraiture, and digital manipulation. Todd builds scale model dioramas that become is narrative. Todd’s aesthetic focuses on detailed features, demonstrating new perspectives to ordinary objects in still time.

UNTITLED (WEST BALTIMORE) by Stephen Marc
(Click on image for larger view)

Stephen Marc says, "On the streets my focus is usually on people, their gestures, interactions, and individual styles. But at times the sense of place takes over, especially when cities combine old and new, contrasting scales, polish and grime, and human traces that are layered in the found montages of reflections."

Stephen Marc is a Professor of Art at Arizona State University, and a 2021 Guggenheim Fellow. Marc began teaching at ASU in 1998, following 20 years on the faculty at Columbia College Chicago. He received his MFA from Tyler School of Art, Temple University in Philadelphia, PA and his BA from Pomona College in Claremont, CA.

Raised in Chicago, with claims on Champaign-Urbana, IL as a home-away-from-home, Marc is a documentary/street photographer and digital montage artist.

His most recent book: American/True Colors (2020) addresses who we are as Americans in a polarized country with changing demographics, from an African American perspective. It was a 2021 IPPY Gold Medalist for best book in the Photography category.

Marc’s three earlier books include: Urban Notions (1983), addressing the three Illinois communities where he has family ties; The Black Trans-Atlantic Experience: Street Life and Culture in Ghana, Jamaica, England, and the United States (1992); and Passage on the Underground Railroad (2009), digital composites that provide insight into the historic sites, and the institution of slavery. His Passage on the Underground Railroad is registered as Arizona’s first and only Interpretative Program of the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom division of the National Park Service.
