Congratulations to the winners of 2010 Alternative Photography Contest! This year we’re thrilled to award Brad Buckman as the first-place winner, recipient of our $100 cash prize! (See below for complete list of winners.)

The annual competition and exhibit, now in its seventh year, is one of our favorites at Julia Dean’s. A wide variety of capture processes are represented, using anything from pinhole and toy cameras to new digital capture techniques. Alternative prints processes may include cyanotypes, platinum & palladium, Polaroid transfers & emulsion lifts, gum prints, collodion wet plate process, and the use of liquid light. Almost anything goes, though the judges reserve the right to decide what alternative means.

This year’s judges were Ann Elliott Cutting and Kathleen McLaughlin.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS!! All winners will take part in an exhibition at the Julia Dean Gallery with opening reception on Friday, August 13th, 2010, from 6-9pm.
