"Call for Artists : 2009 NATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY COMPETITION"
2009-05-11 until 2009-05-29
Camera Club of New York
New York, NY, USA United States of America

The Camera Club of New York (CCNY) is a not-for-profit arts organization with a serious commitment to the field of photography in all its creative aspects for the past 125 years. CCNY was formed in 1884 as The Society for Amateur Photographers of New York and became the Camera Club of New York in 1897. Some of the prominent photographers who have been members of the club and worked in its darkrooms include Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, and Gertrude Kasebier. Past lecturers have included Margaret Bourke-White, Arnold Newman, Richard Avedon, Bruce Davidson, Henry Horenstein, Sylvia Plachy, Antonin Kratochvil, and Larry Fink.

CCNY is dedicated to continuing its long tradition of welcoming both photographers and devotees of photography and encouraging their participation through memberships, classes, lectures, exhibitions and a residency program. Since its founding CCNY has nurtured many talented photographers whose careers cover a wide range of disciplines, including portraiture, photojournalism, fashion, street photography, advertising, documentary and fine art.

ABOUT THE JUROR: Born in New Bedford, MA, Henry Horenstein studied history at the University of Chicago, before turning to photography. Horenstein earned his BFA and MFA from Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in 1971 and 1973 respectively. Horenstein’s over 30 books include monographs (Animals, Close Relations, Honky Tonk, Humans, Creatures, Aquatics, Canine, and Racing Days) and some of the most widely used instructional texts in the field (Black & White Photography, Beyond Basic Photography, Photography, and Color Photography). Photographs from his book Honky Tonk: Portraits of Country Music 1972-1981 were exhibited at the Smithsonian Museum of American History in 2006 and The Museum of Rhode Island School of Design in 2007. His 2007/2008 solo show at the Harvard Museum of Natural History, Looking at Animals, is traveling internationally, as is Honky Tonk. His current photographs, Show, on the worlds of burlesque, fetish, drag, and sideshow, will be published this fall. A professor at RISD, Horenstein lives and works in Boston, MA. www.horenstein.com
