Another Photo Alchemy Juror's Choice Winner

Congratulations to Bill Westhiemer

So, remember that really sweet tintype of the dragonfly in the Photo Alchemy show? Yes, it was one of favorites, too. Photo Alchemy may be over, but we are still taking orders and selling catalogs from this stellar show. Rave reviews continue to roll in from near and far.

Congratulations to Bill Westheimer for winning the Photo Alchemy Juror’s Choice Award for his stellar work in the exhibition. Bill was one of three artists who were chosen by the exhibits juror, Laura Moya for this award. We thought that you might enjoy seeing some more of his work.  

Bill's dragonfly is part of a terrific series of bug photograms. Be sure to see the butterfly images, they are just such beautiful decay.  Bill tells us, "I love to photogram the small things that we often overlook: a weed, or a broken piece of glass. I pursue those things that are rejected, the trash and the detritus, because I enjoy the challenge of finding something exquisite in the ugliest garbage. Like the ancient Japanese Zen monks’ tradition of wabi-sabi - which venerated the ephemeral complexity and beauty of nature’s imperfections - I pursue my fascination with the art of impermanence."
