Photograph by Joseph Holmes

Fall ‘05 Hot Shot, Joseph Holmes has been chosen as one of 100 photographers selected for “Photography Now: One Hundred Portfolios,” an international survey DVD-ROM juried by curators from Europe, Japan and the United States. The project is a follow-up to Wright State University’s “Photography in the 1990s: fifty portfolios” CD-ROM from 1995.

Joseph also has two images from his American Museum of Natural History series selected for the 2nd Annual National Juried Exhibition at the Newspace Center for Photography, Portland, OR. The show runs from July 7 through August 27 (opening reception: Friday July 7th, 7-10pm).

His AMNH series is also showing at Night and Day Restaurant on August 7th with a reception that night from 6 to 7:30pm. Night and Day is located at 230 Fifth Avenue (at President) Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY 11215.

Joseph also has a photograph in the latest issue of JPG Magazine, issue #6, “Oops.” They showcase a lot of great photographers (as well as myself in the first issue!).

Finally, his short story “Keys” will be appearing in the spring/summer issue of the literary magazine “Phantasmagoria” as well as the fall/winter issue of “The North Atlantic Review.”

We are a week away from the Hey, Hot Shot competition **deadline is August 9th at 6pm**! I’ll be posting a photo everyday from the Summer ‘06 submissions.

*sidenote: These images are chosen by me and me only. They have nothing to do with panelists. I just want to showcase some work that I like and are inspired by as well as the diversity of the submissions. You still have a week to submit, so keep them coming!!

Maple Lanes, Brooklyn, NY by Marc McAndrews

Once I saw this image, I knew it was the bowling alley located a few blocks from my house. Marc set out in his van (that he bought on ebay) and focused on capturing his perception of the American culture.
