Al – ter – a – tions: change, adaptation, conversion, modification, reworking, transformation, variation, mutation, difference, adjustment, mending, orientation, transmutation, flip-flop, remodeling, reshaping.
Digital and cell phone cameras have brought a new chapter into the art of altering a photograph. Photoshop and apps can take an image from a snap shot into a unique work of art.
There is also an old chapter to the ever-changing story of altering a photograph. The darkroom still has a few tricks up its sleeve. There are the tried and true alternative printing processes such as vandykes, cyanotypes, platinum and bromoils. And don’t forget hand coloring, encaustic, collage and hand made books. Let your imagination be your guide. Creativity is encouraged.
“Alterations” images should start with a photo based image or images. The images could have alterations applied to the image itself, alterations in the printing process or alterations applied in the image presentation. Three-dimensional work is eligible for this call for entry.
A Blurb catalogue of the exhibit with all accepted entries will be available for purchase. Awards are $250 for Juror Choice, $250 Directors Choice from the gallery director, $100 for Visitors Choice and five Honorable Mentions.
Juror’s for “Alterations” will be Jill and Dan Burkholder.
Dan was one of the first photographic artists to embrace digital technology in the early 1990’s. Melding his unique vision with mastery of both the wet and digital darkrooms, his platinum prints are now included in many museums and private collections. Originating the digital-negative process in 1992, Burkholder has helped open doors for all black and white photographers interested in moving into the new electronic technologies. His award-winning book, Making Digital Negatives for Contact Printing, is regarded as the most authoritative work in the field.
Jill Skupin Burkholder is a photographer/ artist whose work includes handcrafted techniques such as bromoil printing, alternative photography process using brushes and lithography ink to create an image, and encaustic techniques using beeswax and resin.
Dan and Jill are internationally exhibited artists. Together they work to provide education and publication of their work. They live at the base of the Catskills in Palenville, NY. For more information visit their websites at www.danburkholder.com and www.jillskupinburkholder.com

Besides her photography, she has been a practicing certified public accountant for the past thirty five years. Her photography website is www.asmithphotographs.com.
