Annemarie Farley UK Nominee Abstract Professional "Painted Petals" I wanted to show the contrast between the petal and the end of the petal.

I love the way you can still see the centre texture of the flower head and just a slight impression of the stem. |

Neil Sharpe Canada Nominee Abstract Amateur ""Trust" Is Written In Black And White" Stress and pressure trigger emotions that can emotionally overwhelm the individual, including feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt, repressed anger, and intense feelings of loneliness, isolation, depression and despair. When we search for clarity, for a reason to believe in ourselves, on close examination, nothing seems in focus, nothing seems to be really there. Accordingly, this image is deliberately blurred, distorted, cast out of focus, and blown out, in order to mimic the effects of stress, pressure, and the emotional responses. Technique: a video is made with a low resolution, e.g. 240p, uploaded to YouTube, and reviewed frame-by-frame to increase distortion and noise. A photograph is taken of the selected frame on a computer monitor, and the resulting image is further processed in Photoshop to overload the final photograph in terms of both resolution and noise. |

|
Martino Cusano Italy Nominee Architectural Professional "Nel Centro from the Middle" Martino Cusano deals with communications since 1985 when he finishes his studies at the E.D.I. His passion for B/W is a distinctive mark of his life and his work. The 3 images sent (Hasselblad- focal length 30mm, Ilford Pan-F 50) “dal basso – from the bottom”, “nel centro – from the middle”, “da sopra -above”, are just a part of a more important project to show the Rationalist architecture of the 20s-30s in Italy, towards the stairs of Latina. Of course, the next step of this important project made of 40 images should be the production of an architectural book. |

Michael McLaughlin Ireland Nominee Architectural Professional "House Maine" The Olson House, the subject of numerous works of art by Andrew Wyeth. Wyeth expressively documented life on the isolated, saltwater farm in many of his works. He said, "In the portraits of that house, the windows are eyes or pieces of the soul almost. To me, each window is a different part of Christina's life." For him, Christina and the Olson House were symbols of New England and Maine. He once remarked, "I just couldn't stay away from there. I did other pictures while I knew them but I'd always seem to gravitate back to the house. ... It was Maine." |

Minny Lee USA Nominee Architectural Amateur "Asbury Park, New Jersey" Once a popular Jersey shore town visited by 600,000 vacationers a year, Asbury Park underwent a rapid decline in the 1980s. There were several revitalization efforts by developers but due to political corruption and the volatile economy, many projects were left unfinished. During this process, many historical buildings got demolished. Although Asbury Park’s newly revitalized boardwalk seems to give a fresher look, to me, Asbury Park now embodies an awkward combination of the past and present, hope and despair. |

Jerusalem’s Chords Bridge, located at the entrance of the city, this very controversial bridge was built in honour of Israel’s 60 year anniversary (2008) and symbolizes David’s Harp. Many claim that its modern look does not blend with the city’s white sandstone façade, regardless; I think it makes a good photo. |

Jack Dzamba (Dziamba) USA Nominee Fashion Professional "Melissa" Most photocubism is simply a slicing up of a photo and re-assembling it as different prisms, sort of like a wedge from a kaleidoscope. Cubism, however, as developed by Picasso and Braque, used different angles, proportions, perspectives, and materials to form the composition. In my work with Cubism I try to use the Picasso/Braque technique. For instance, 'Melissa,' is a collage of one of my images from the 'Torso' series overlaid on a magazine advertisement. |

It was taken at a former convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie that was occupied by the army during and after wars, used as military barracks. After being vacant for 25 years, the Fondazione di Venezia acquired it to use for the future 20th century museum. The ghostly place inspired me to do a self-portrait series reflecting my dark memories from the past. I tried to portray an uncertain, fragile and dreamlike state of mind that overshadowed my youth. |

Rafal Maleszyk USA Nominee Fine Art Professional "Three Trees Couple" I feel strong desire to walk in the forest, to discover this ray of light that will make a difference in my frame. I try to capture the speed of wind and the ocean, movement of threes, contrast of sand or texture of a rock. I cannot live without the beautiful spectacles Nature gives. It is like a race, and I am scared, if I don’t photograph, the beauty of Nature will be lost. This is our Human naive belief that we are in control of everything. When I photograph I have to be united with Nature and give up the total control of the perspective, light or composition, this is the only time I am able to create something exceptional. In 2011 I have started to incorporate plastic in my landscapes. I enjoy creating long exposure ocean-scapes, this is when I am not entirely in the control of what the sensor will record; the motion of ocean, wind, waves and plastic produce unpredictable effect. In my plastic-scapes wind plays a huge role as well as reflection of light in the plastic. |

neil craver USA Nominee Nude Professional "Limits of Representation" OmniPhantasmic* ------------------------------------------ *Omni- 1. A combining form denoting all, every, everywhere; as in omnipotent, all-powerful; omnipresent; omnivorous. *Phantasmic- 1. Something apparently seen but having no physical reality; a phantom or an apparition. Also called phantasma. 2. An illusory mental image. 3. In Platonic philosophy, objective reality as perceived and distorted by the five senses. This project is meant to be consumed with your emotions, and not simply perceived with your sense organs. I wanted a transcendental meaning behind them; not only with the use of chromatics and aesthetics. But with my intended focus be on the philosophical theories, I wanted a “subliminal composition” to create an under tow of messages to stress the strong influences of unconscious elements affecting and driving people's lives. And with the creation of a strong undercurrent of incommunicable thoughts, would be the stage for illuminating the subconscious intellect into a perception; not deception. The visual aesthetics are purely symbolic in their thought application and structure; with decomposing forests of broken memory connections, and tumbling of vertigo into the correct positions of phenomenal reality. The shallowness of the area above the horizon line indicates the division of the limited amount of information consciously perceivable (atmosphere-above) and the larger mass storage of all the sense information, rationalizations,and prejudices of the subconscious below (hydrosphere-below). The nexus of contingents between drowning and floating, falling and flying, dying and living are some of the main unphysical-intangible themes in this series. A dominant temporal element of composition would be the use of the female form. I used the intrinsic values of this object to exploit and illustrate the submerged network of the unconscious condemnation and restriction of the nude form in popular society. With this formation of energies being repressed in the subconscious state, one's behavior could start to dissolve the foundation of the self. With no outlets for expression, one could only predict the unconscious wishes could turn into anxiety and transform into synthetic states; such as phobias,aggression, and other maladjusted personality disorders. What you can perceive and process is an extremely finite portion of what you receive from the physical environment. And to truly grasp the vexing questions of your inner facilities, you must open yourself to a flood of unrestricted information. So one must dive into the cloudy placid waters of the subconscious world to uncover a linkage between the conscious and the subconscious mind. Once the excavation is started; the illumination of the self imposed restrains of values, ideas, and moral codes will dissolve. When the subconscious floods pass society’s imprisonment; starting a process of uncontaminated awareness; a penetrating understanding will unfold! |

We will all lose when ancient skills are forgotten. Traditions and rituals are our connections to the past and they are our future as well. As a “visual archeologist” I am interested in capturing these last moments in the rich tapestry of tribal life. |

Laura Jean Zito Ireland Nominee People Professional "The Odd and Even Couple" I was walking down Bleecker Street in New York City's Greenwich Village. As I crossed Sullivan Street, I spotted this couple at an outdoor cafe. I "grabbed" a shot, then asked them if I could take a few more. They agreed somewhat reticently but not defensively. I shot about five or six frames. Upon examining each frame carefully at a later date, I realized that, though the images appeared more or less the same, a slight pursing of their lips had taken place that replaced the inviting quality of the first expressions when they were taken unawares with an almost sardonic one. The difference is ever so subtle, but reminds me how difficult it is to manufacture a smile, and how trained experts can always tell as different muscles are used in a real smile than in an artificial one. As I examined other series of shots I had taken of people, invariably that first shot is always a tad more natural. Now I try to be as ready as possible before my first approach. This couple engages in their differences by adopting each other's manner of dress. The coffee table serves as a line of delineation, below which the man and the woman are both sporting blousy white slacks, fishnet stockings and high heels, and above which they adorn themselves with large sunglasses, fists full of rings like brass knuckles, bobbed haircuts and mannish black shirts. She on the right wears white sunglasses and he on the left black. They have achieved a kind of equality that they both seem at ease with, and that makes us all think about how tied we are to prevailing attitudes of attire. |

Libean weighs less than 15 kilos. Under normal conditions his weight should be around 26 kilos. His weight now corresponds to that of a 3 year-old child. Every morning his mother carries him on her back to the scales, where doctors monitor his development. Just a few metres separate the bed from the scales, but his weak legs can't cover this small distance. It takes him great effort even to sit in the black basin where doctors weigh patients; he squints as he looks out at us. There are dozens of cases like Libean's in the Hospital, an entire generation condemned to starvation. |

Larry Louie Canada 1st Place - Outstanding Achievement Photojournalism Professional "Toxic Waters" In January 2010, Bangladesh began trying to clean up one of the dirtiest rivers in the world, the Buriganga. It only took one generation to turn what was once a thriving river with drinkable water into a river that is so toxic that no fish can survive in there. Buriganga has become the toxic lifeline of Dhaka . The dying river is the most polluted river in Bangladesh due to rampant dumping of industrial and human waste. It is the main outlet of sewage waste and has become a major health hazard as industries and people are all sharing the use of the river. Many of the urban poor need to use the river in their daily lives. They use this water to drink, gargle, brush their teeth and take baths. The fact is the poisonous water with major toxic elements from irritants to carcinogens are the cause of several types of skin disease and other health issues among the people who live along its banks. |

Larry Louie Canada Nominee Photojournalism Professional "Child Labor - My Bubblegum" In recent years, the prevalence of child labor has become a serious problem in many poor developing countries. Bangladesh, being one of the poorest and one of the most densely populated countries in the world; the problem of child labor is huge. It is estimated that there are 4.9 million working children between the ages of 5-15 in Bangladesh. That is 13.4% of the total work force in the country. Most of these children have no other options. Some are orphans growing up on the streets while others are forces to work due the economic hardships of their family. There is not much future for these children growing up and living in poverty and deprivation. Few will ever have the opportunity to an education or to learn skills to ensure a better life for them in the future. But just banning the use of child laborer in industries is not a permanent solution to this problem. In fact, this step is useless if the government and NGO’s do not ensure the economic and social securities of these minors. 40% of the 166 million people in Bangladesh make less than $1 a day and spend 80% of that income on food. With the rising cost of fuel and food prices, more and more children will be forced to work to help support their family and put food on the table. |

Gregoire A. Meyer UK Honorable Mention Portrait Amateur "Behind the curtain" Michel, behind the curtain... Looking in a mirror is an intimate moment. She opens herself, observing every wrinkle and flaw, subconsciously beginning dialogue. But the conversation is seldom objective. Perhaps her reflection differs from the image in her mind or perhaps beauty itself raises expectation? Sharing this intimate moment, the observer begins as voyeur with their own experience providing an irresistible invitation to join in. Contradictory perceptions of beauty mirror our imperfections as a society. Scars on a young girl are flaws but on the face of the mature man they signify experience or form an ‘interesting’ feature. Searching for the flaws and imperfections of the women, he reflects a perception paradox where beauty shines for all to see - in the eye of the beholder. |

Mario marino Germany Nominee Portrait Professional "Malega, Surma Boy, April 2011, Ethiopia" Austrian-born photographer Mario Marino has spent the last few months in the South Ethiopia’s Omo River Valley taking what he calls “photographic psychograms” of its inhabitants. Each gorgeously spare portrait represents a different micro-culture of the region, which Marino chose for its incredible density of distinct ethnic minorities. “Faces of Africa” is a race against time of sorts. Marino searches the smallest, furthest villages for people whose heritage is under assault by the potent forces of tourism, technological advancement, and social globalization. His chosen method of preservation is to record a culture’s mark upon the body: white chalk used as face paint, intricate patterns shaved into hair, and throughout the portraits, ornaments made from the matchless leaves and shells of the South Ethiopian terrain. The sitters literally wear their homeland, supporting the claim of couturiers and choreographers everywhere that the body is simply one more medium for communication. |

It was taken at a former convent of Santa Maria delle Grazie that was occupied by the army during and after wars, used as military barracks. After being vacant for 25 years, the Fondazione di Venezia acquired it to use for the future 20th century museum. The ghostly place inspired me to do a self-portrait series reflecting my dark memories from the past. I tried to portray an uncertain, fragile and dreamlike state of mind that overshadowed my youth. |

Susan Grant USA Nominee Silhouette Professional "Flying Tiger, from the "Night Journey" series" This series explores dreams and memory and provides pictorial access to the unconscious. Using the shadow as metaphor, I enjoy creating works that portray a sense of surprise and wonder that in turn conjure up childhood imaginings, fairy tales and nightmares. By using mythic characters and incongruous objects, I delve into the fantastic to create phantomlike tableaux’s that capture lost and forgotten fragments of experience and emotion. The inspiration came from an inquiry into the subconscious. Using myself as subject, I was tape recorded in a sleep laboratory while awakened from REM sleep to gain access to the subconscious. The laboratory audio recordings were used as inspiration to create the photographs for this series. The gestures and narratives are created by photographing shadows of models and props in my studio using a 4x5 view camera with a digital back. |

She was a great help explaining the action to me, and showing me the ropes as she has photographed bullfighting for many many years. |

Annemarie Farley UK Nominee Still Life Professional "Summer Flower" I wanted to create a more dramatic effect with this flower to bring out its strong features. They are so pretty and delicate, so creating a more graphic effect prompted me to use black and white. When I look at a flower I generally assess whether the final image with be in colour or black and white, and even though I shoot digitally I still process in the image (in my mind) with the old dark room techniques. I knew exactly how I was going to print this image – keeping the stamen in white, contrasting against the dark grey of the flower centre. I wanted to keep the petals light and delicate just as I had photographed them. The image is successful as the flower is almost ‘tutu’ like – the ballet dancer curtseying to the audience! |

{c} OWEN USA Nominee Still Life Professional "Elephant Trophy 2010" Photograph from Trophies project. The photographs explore the existence of creatures killed for show. I capture their tragic story of innocence, anger, and fear through the expressions forced upon them by taxidermists and then modified by the lens. The animals emerge from a large black void that symbolizes death and forces us to imagine their missing bodies. I give them back their power through the photographs by choice of harsh, dramatic lighting. Within each photograph, the animals seem to speak to us; some are vengeful, threatening, angry, innocent, yet other are majestic and even calm. |

Andrew George Netherlands Nominee Wildlife Amateur "March of the coots" The winter at the start of 2010 was one of the first strong ones in years again in The Netherlands. The lake in the local park in Eindhoven where I live was almost completely frozen. It just had snowed. Perfect conditions to photograph these black Coots in contrast with the white snow. I’d observed the Coots for a couple of days already. I’d shot a whole series of photos. All of a sudden I saw the scene I was looking for. They formed a group and started to walk back to the hole in the ice to go back in the water. While they where walking the scene reminded me of the documentary film “March of the Penguins”. Equipment: Nikon D700; Nikkor 70-200 AF-S VR 2.8 type II, ISO800, F8.0; 1/60sec.; handheld. |

Rakesh Sahai India Nominee Wildlife Professional "SHARING" While shooting at the riverside in winters of the Corbett National Park (India), the sight of a diving pied kingfisher shifted my attention in anticipation of something interesting to ensue. I quickly tilted my camera up and shot the bird feeding a fish to another of its mate in the backdrop of the sky! Their swift movement did not even allow me to change the shooting exposure. Such rare sights make the long waits in the jungle completely worth it! On later thoughts, it becomes evident how basic emotions of loving and sharing remain the same amongst both humans and animals. |
