Juror's Statement
When asked to jury "Going Places," it was an exciting thought to see how photographers feel, express, and share the experience of places they may encounter during their journeys. The results were powerful images. Personal expressions. Originating from a voice within which compels them to make an image capturing a split second in time. Sense of place. The challenge for the photographer to fully engage in the moment. Tell a story. Compose an image within the boundaries of the frame. Draw the line straight from their subject to their heart. Not always an easy personal assignment.
My goal as a photographer when I am "Going Places" is to create within the two-dimensional plane, called the print, three dimensions. Time, place, and story. Enticing the viewer of the image ...

The photographs created strong emotional and visual statements sharing time, place, and story. Well done, photographers! It was an honor to experience your "Going Places." I enjoyed the ride.
Be strong, be safe.

About the Juror
Carlan Tapp found his calling at a young age. Cross-country family road trips, a few years later a dirt bike, respect for the earthen landscape, and several years assisting Ansel Adams—all contributed to the photographic voice for which he is known.
It is the work that comes out of his passion—the open road—that helps to draw a devout following of students at Santa Fe Photographic Workshops, National Geographic Workshops, Pacific Northwest Art School, Maine Media Workshops and Anderson Ranch Center for the Arts. Some of his most enthusiastic fans come from the readership of Harley-Davidson HOG Magazine and New Mexico Magazine in which his road stories are often featured. His unique vision of the open road is such an enticement, you’ll have to make your reservation early for the ultimate in first-hand field photographic experiences: joining Carlan for a personalized, private, “Motophoto Tour.”
