Get Your Submissions Together for our juried exhibition entitled “In Habitation“. The juror for the show will be David Wright, an editorial photographer based out of Maine. David’s series “Alebtong, Uganda, 2009″ is very well known and he was also the co-founder of the project and exhibition called “Pause to Begin.”
Theme: “In Habitation” is looking for photographs that help explore the landscape and infrastructure of America, the population responsible for it, and the symbiotic relationship between the two. This exhibition explores the ways in which our urban and rural centers operate and fluctuate, creating a uniquely American dynamic of experience. This exhibition will ultimately present a socio-graphic interpretation of America- a mapping of people and place.
David Wright is a photographer based in Maine. He has always learned about the world and himself through photography.
In January and February 2009 David spent 2 months in northern Uganda photographing for A River Blue, a school providing psychosocial counseling and intense vocational training in topics like tailoring, agriculture, and arts to vulnerable youth.
His series “Alebtong, Uganda, 2009″ was selected as 1 of 3 winners in the 2009 Conscientious Portfolio Competition and was exhibited at Anastasia Photo in New York from February 5 – April 14, 2010.
David’s editorial work is represented by Redux Pictures and his Uganda work is represented by AnastasiaPhoto. Most photographs on this website are available as licensed images and edition prints.

For this exhibition Booksmart Studio will be accepting 2-D and 3-D artwork, as well as Artist’s Books. All artwork submitted must be completed using alternative digital printing techniques such as, inkAID precoatings or Booksmart Fine Art Metal. Images printed directly to precoated papers do not qualify for this exhibit, the idea is the process of creating work through various techniques utilized in the printing process rather than in Adobe Photoshop™. To apply send a completed entry form along with a CD of work that is comprised of up to 3 images per entry fee.
Digital File format:
RGB, images no more than 5MB in size, JPEG files.
Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope if you wish to have you digital materials returned.

The exhibition, recognizing and celebrating innovation and talent in digital printing, will be juried by Mary Taylor- educator and award-winning vanguard of digital processes. Using an eclectic mix of found objects, handmade papers, hand coatings, and modern digital printing processes, Taylor creates fine monoprints, artist books, and mixed media digital prints. While not teaching digital printmaking workshops or managing the studio of Digital Atelier’s Dorothy Krause, Mary Taylor is advancing her own unique talent and pioneering the art of alternative digital printing processes.
The strength and value in art is located not solely in its visuality, but also in its ability to circulate as an object, or at the most basic level- its grounds in a circulating idea.
