On Holiday by aspiring Hot Shot Ben Roberts
In my attempt to celebrate my least favorite of holidays, I’ve poured love songs, ballads, and many a nostalgic tune through my ears since waking. Now I am stuck with one of my favorites on repeat––thank you Doris Day. In passing along aspiring Hot Shot Ben Roberts, I hope to also get this tune I will not name, but leave for you to guess, out of my head. From me to you, words from Ben’s statement:
I’m interested in documenting stories about human behaviour and condition, but the images don’t necessarily have to have people in them; I try to look for human traces in both landscapes and domestic spaces to help complete a story.
While our panelists tackle the difficult task of selecting just who will be first 10 Hot Shots of 2007, I will continue to bring you some submission spotlights. Enjoy.
