Spheres of Influence
Oklahoma City rests at the intersection of many highways that cross the continental US. OKC is known for Boomers and
Sooners, sunsets, beauty queens, red dirt, tornado alley, and a capital with an oil derrick on site. The variety contained
promotes why the locality of Oklahoma City is the perfect place to explore how we identify and reflect on the many
guiding “forces” impacting our creative lives. All of us are affected by a variety of influences from history, culture,
identity, geography, politics, scientific discovery, mentors, and experience to name some. This conference hopes to
address how these spheres of influence impact us as artists, educators, and students and how this manifests in our
photography as discovery, investigations, and recording in our worlds.
The conference organizers look forward to seeing your proposals!

Alternative Processes | PhotoPlace Gallery
Juror: Amy Holmes George
Platinum, palladium, silver gelatin, mixed media, pinhole camera, plastic camera, collage, albumen, Daguerreotype, multiple exposure, cyanotype, salt print, photogravure, Van Dyke, tintype, photoresist… you get the idea.
Some alternative process, whether historic or thoroughly modern or both, should be at the heart of submitted work. Digital manipulation alone should not be essential to the aesthetic of the final image.
Amy Holmes George has agreed to jury this exhibition and we’re thrilled to have her eye. Amy will choose 40 photographs for exhibition in the gallery, and up to 35 additional for the gallery’s Online Annex. All 75 accepted photographs will be reproduced in the exhibition catalog.
About the Juror
Amy Holmes George is a teacher, fine art photographer, and President of the Texas Photographic Society. She has held teaching appointments at Baylor University, the University of North Texas, Collin College and Stephen F. Austin State University, with a special interest in instructing alternative photographic printing methods. Her dedication to Alternative Processes is evident by her co-founding “alt8”, an alternative processes group active in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Amy has exhibited throughout the U.S., as well as in Italy, England, France and China where her work has been featured in over 100 exhibitions. Her photography is held in the permanent collections of the Getty, The Kinsey Institute, and the Fratelli Alinari Museum.
Submission fee: $30 for five photographs, $7 for each additional photograph.
Congratulations to Michele D. Poindexter for having two of her photographs selected for the Feature Shoot online exhibition on the theme of identical twins. Judged by Keren Sachs, Director of Content Development for Offset, a new collection of high-end stock photography and illustration from artist around the globe, the images chosen for this show capture the essence of twinness, of an unspoken bond that many wish for and few actually get to experience.
