still looking for your challenge ideas

hey friends and followers,
this is just a reminder that we are still looking for ideas
for the next bulb photo challenge!

we will be accepting ideas until 
next friday, march 23, 2012 at midnight.

all you have to do is submit a comment to this blog post
containing your suggested challenge idea.

keep in mind that we usually sponsor a broader conceptually based contest
rather than just a genre challenge like nudes or landscapes.

we are really look forward to reading your ideas
and presenting a fun, new spring photo challenge!!

bulb photo proudly presents: mark renz

what an honor it is to to present the work of bulb "resolution" challenge winner, mark renz!
mark is currently finishing his ma in digital photography at the renowned
savannah college of art and design.
he actually worked as a architect for over fifteen years,
but decided a few years ago to pursue his dream of being an artist!
he has just begun to submit work to competitions and galleries
in the hopes of building some great exhibition experience as he launches his new career!

the images featured below are from a series entitled, dreamscapes iii.
the series is based on the concept of memories, their associations
and how they can provide insight into our dreams, and in the end, our inner psyche.

you can view more of this and other series and contact the artist at mark's website!

enjoy!

let's collaborate!

for the past two years i have been coming up with the concepts and topics
for the bulb photo challenges all on my own.

i thought it might be a lot of fun if you, the followers of bulb,
choose the next topic for our april bulb photo challenge!

all you have to do is submit a comment to this blog post
containing your suggested challenge idea.

keep in mind that we usually sponsor a broader conceptually based contest
rather than just a genre challenge like nudes or landscapes.

i look forward to reading some interesting ideas
and presenting a really fun spring photo challenge!!

and the winners are... resolution challenge

ladies and gentlemen and bulb followers who don't fall into one of those categories,
i am proud to announce that we officially have winners to the
bulb photo resolution challenge!

all of the images that were submitted are excellent. the exhibition was beautiful!
i know that our juror had a difficult time deciding which photographs
stood out amongst the group.

although each artist who submitted is a winner in my book,
ms. khalil has spoken...
the photographers who created the images posted below will be awarded their own feature on the blog!

in the amateur or student category:

alexis anderson

congratulations alexis, mike & mark.
