Exhibition of jackson photografix infrared images at the prestigious Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium

I was thrilled to receive the following email a few days ago:

CONGRATULATIONS! On behalf the Visual Arts Alberta Association I would like to thank you for submitting your work for consideration in the VAAA Gallery’s 2011 Alberta-wide Open Photography Call for Submissions. I am pleased to advise you that you have been selected by the jury for the Juried Photography Exhibition scheduled to run from August 25 to October 02, 2011 in the Kaasa Gallery at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium located at 11455 – 87 Avenue, Edmonton. 

Visual Arts Alberta had over 66 Alberta photographers respond to this call with 327 images. 57 photographs were selected by 39 artists to be shown in the Kaasa Gallery in OPEN PHOTO 2011.   I am pleased to advise you that the jury selected the following image(s) from your submission:

Photo shoot with the Harvey Family

                                                               Amanda and Finn

Everytime I shoot babies or young children I have more and more respect for those who make a living from it.  Although this proved to be a great image, little Finn had begun teething just days before the shoot and we had to work hard to get him to smile.  But ... Mom always knows best.  Amanda pulled out her infamous tickle story and this was the result.

Three good reasons for a photo shoot ...
