46th Lotte Jacobi Juried Photography Exhibit

Weathered pilings ‒ Tracadie Bay, Prince Edward Island ‒ 2024

One of my photographs, “Weathered pilings ‒ Tracadie Bay, Prince Edward Island ‒ 2024”, was selected for the NHAA 46th Lotte Jacobi juried Photography Exhibition, and will be on display at the Robert Lincoln Levy Gallery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire August 1 – 31, 2025. The opening reception takes place on Friday, August 1st, 5-8pm. The juror for this exhibit was Gary Samson, 7th Artist Laureate of New Hampshire  and Professor Emeritus of Photography, Institute of Art and Design, at New England College.

The image was taken at a full moon at the entrance to Tracadie Bay. The former pier has fallen into disrepair as the area is no longer dredged and the bay is slowly filling with sand and silt.

This is another image in my series of anamorphic landscapes from Atlantic Canada. Anamorphic lenses compress or squeeze a wider field of view on a standard sized film or digital sensor. The image is then de-squeezed or elongated when projected or in post-production. This allows a long landscape view to be obtained on a rectangular film or digital sensor without cropping. These lenses, which are commonly used in the film industry today, produce images with a unique look and are of a higher quality as no area of the film (or pixels on a digital sensor) are lost in cropping.
