The William & Winifred Bowness Photography Prize shortlist has been announced[pdf file]. Needless to say I'm not on it.
However, I'm always pleased to see the diversity of approaches to image making that still exists.
The list itself reads a bit like a who's who of Australian and in particular Melbourne Photo Artists, congrats to Joyce Evans for being shortlisted in particular, one of Melbourne's earliest Photo Art Practitioners, and longest patrons.
What I find the most interesting is the amount of output isn't as biased towards Digital as I would have thought. It seems artists are still enamoured by the richness of the wet process. I'm looking forward to the exhibition in September.
