The Top 50 photographers from this years’ Critical Mass has just been announced. There’s lots of good work, including a few of the photographers that were my favs (see my last post). I’m looking forward to perhaps meeting a few of the photographers in person at some event in the not-too-distant future!
If my guess is right, there are several hundred photography curators, publishers, gallerists and magazine editors sifting through all of the Critical Mass finalists at this very moment. The deadline for viewing and voting on the work is December 3rd, which means that the Thanksgiving weekend is the perfect time to take a few hours and get the job done (which is exactly what I’m doing).
I have to say that the work this year seems especially impressive, and I’ve been keeping a folder of some of my favorite images discovered along the way. (Each image is linked to the photographer’s website, so you can learn more.) Enjoy!
