"Revelations -- reflecting indicate twist or turn in the image, something unexpected and perspective-shifting, literally or metaphorically. As far as additional guidance on how I will be judging, I'll be looking at interpretation to the theme (revelation, the unexpected), and intention in composition and technical aspects of the image."

Our judge will be Mary Goodwin. Mary (Founder, Treasurer & Secretary of Aurora PhotoCenter) is the publisher at Waltz Books, a photobook publishing company with a focus on the relationship between the photographic image and the book format. Her photographic practice depicts the land as a site of memory, culture, and politics.

Goodwin holds an MFA in Photography from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, where she also acquired a love of chilis, both red and green. Her writing about photography has appeared in photoeye booklist, f-stop magazine, and the Contact Sheet Annual.

As the former Associate Director at Light Work in Syracuse, New York, she curated exhibitions by Deana Lawson, Yolanda del Amo, and Stephen Chalmers, among other artists. Mary loves to talk about photobooks, and she has led a series of book talks, with artists, publishers, and designers, for Aurora in addition to her curatorial and administrative duties.
