Untitled (Fishkill, NY) by aspiring Hot Shot Jennifer Loeber

Not only do I plan to continue bringing you news from the past, present, and future, starting today I will humor your curious sides and spotlight selections from the entry pool. And it will be just that, a selection by yours truly, one that will hopefully give you an idea of the wide variety of work sent our way.

I’ll start with Jennifer Loeber. Jennifer recently completed a feature length documentary on a fading flea-market community in Fishkill, NY. When not behind the camera, she also enjoys dancing––in her words, she “fell in love with photography while being forced to wear pink sequined gypsy pants as a stand-in model for a high school photography class. The other side of the lens looked infinitely more appealing.” Any of us who studied photography in school can surely relate.

The goal of my work is to eavesdrop on the everyday anxiety of living. Whether my subjects are people or landscapes, the focus echoes our overabundance of choice, our daily expectations and the hidden dangers of the unknown that threaten us profoundly yet internally. It’s in these glimpses of trepidation that tell the real story of any given moment. I aim to expose my own insecurities and unanswered questions through imagery that reveals its true spirit without giving away its secrets. The three images I am submitting are from this ongoing larger body of work.

Check back daily for your entry fix. Maybe tomorrow we’ll be looking at you. Enter today.
