Selected Juror: Jacques Leblanc
We are privileged to welcome Jacques Leblanc as our esteemed juror. With a rich history of capturing the essence of Long Island through the lens, Jacques’ experience and discerning eye promise to elevate this exhibition to new heights.
Jacques Leblanc has been documenting the landscapes and communities of Long Island since the early 1970s. His passion for photography has led him to explore the intricate details of Long Island’s towns and homes. While he was already well-established as a black-and-white photographer, Jacques underwent a transformative journey after retiring from his career in education in 2007. He wholeheartedly embraced the world of color photography.
Reflecting on this transition, Jacques shared, “During this same period, I was spending a great deal of time studying dreams, or more specifically, Oneirology. This is not the study of a dream’s meaning but rather their actual appearance.” Jacques’ unique perspective and dedication to the craft of photography make him an invaluable addition to this exhibit.
This open call is for all who have a passion for photography.
If you are a professional photographer or someone who enjoys photography as an art form, we want to see your best work. Whether you prefer to capture the scene with a DSLR, a point-and-shoot, a smartphone, or anything else, we are looking for creative images and interesting perspectives that fulfill the theme of this exhibit. We do not have a requirement on how you capture your photography, it just has to produce a high-quality print medium for the exhibit.
