David Kutz
Back-to-The-Land

“In the early 1970s, thousands of young people established communal farms seeking a lower impact way of life. A utopia.
The photographs in the series Back-to-The-L and were made during five trips to an off-the-grid holler in Appalachia. The first journeys were in the 1970s and the final drive down the creek bed that doubles as a county road was in October 2017.
A lot has changed. Nothing has changed.”

NYC Noir

“Noir, in film and photography, defines a mood. A dark, grim mood, marked by grit, romance, pessimism, fatalism, and even a sense of menace. Using available light, the camera works at night on the streets of New York capturing the Noir essence in the faces and places that make up the city.”

Paul Mele
GRiM

“Deep within us all dwells a natural fascination with morbidity; a sinister side that by social standards is not considered the norm and frowned upon by the majority as weird.
GRiM is a series of photographs that explores the inner demons of human nature, exposing these morbid fascinations as something complex, beautiful, and ultimately human.”

Thom O’Connor
Intersections

“These images are of determined, early-morning striders, weaving their way thru the uncommon street crossings of Manhattan. Purposeful pedestrians, determined, lost in thought, crossing paths without signs of recognition, and without altering their chosen courses. Like ships passing in the night.”

2018 International Portfolio Competition

Soho Photo Gallery’s panel of jurors for the 2018 International Portfolio Competition selected three portfolios for exhibition. Each portfolio will be on exhibit for one month. There were 166 portfolios submitted consisting of 2,639 images. The portfolios came from 29 states and 11 countries. JP Terlizzi of Lyndhurst, NJ and Laura T. Bennett of Auburn, CA will exhibit this month, and John Evans of Exeter Devon, United Kingdom will exhibit in June.

JP Terlizzi
Descendants

“As I witness an earlier generation of family members pass, it has become important to somehow preserve my past. Not having my own family photos, I used a cousin’s photographic archive.
Through this work I have become interested in the origins of personal identity as it relates to my Italian lineage and its sartorial ancestry. I am curious about how the bloodline represents the passage of time. Utilizing a digital composite photograph of the old and the new, I incorporate my own blood specimens onto slides, stitching them on the image to create new family portraits that connects my identity with the past while preserving the present.”

Laura T. Bennett
Dames of Anatomy

“This project addresses the complexities of the female condition and challenges cultural norms. Old glass negatives of anonymous women are scanned and combined with antique medical slides, ephemera and my own selected images. They are peppered with satire, but there is an underlying presence of struggle and submission. My life experience as a woman is a far cry from any fairytale I knew as a child. I tell my daughters, ‘you are your own prince charming, so saddle up and find yourself.’ “
