announcing the winners of the transience challenge
i want to thank everyone who submitted to the transience photo challenge.
there were many excellent submissions and
i thoroughly enjoyed seeing how each artist rendered the concept of transience in still photography.
the strength in our contest winner's image came not only from it's subject matter,
but in the technique used for producing the final piece.
this series of partially overlapping exposures strings together what may be read as a brief narrative;
a transition from an eerie wooded landscape into a cave-like shelter.
both atmospheres attesting to the inherent impermanence of our natural world.
the ephemeral quality of objects and spaces has always intrigued me
and often finds its way into my own work.
it is an underlying truth for all things,
though it is more apparent in nature than it is in architecture.
- jake selvidio

bulbArts proudly presents: the transience challenge exhibition
this challenge was one that was close to my heart.
photography and transience just go hand in hand in my mind.
my own personal work always seems to deal with a subject that is fleeting.
it was refreshing to learn that so many young photographers feel the same connection.
the thing i enjoyed most about the submissions
was how varied the viewpoints were.
some of the photographs were dark and solemn,
a reminiscence of sorts,
while others were light and cheerful
and some, just so full of hope.
i imagine our juror is struggling right this moment
with his decision for that very reason!
remember, this concept was supplied not by me,
but by the followers of the blog,
the challengers who participate regularly,
by you.
please enjoy the exhibition... transience
