"Stunning Images" Capture Top Awards At Phillips' Mill Photo Show

SOLEBURY TOWNSHIP, PA — Phillips' Mill has announced the winners of this year's 33rd Annual Photographic Exhibition, on display from now through April 17.

The winners - a series of stunning images - were selected by the show's three preeminent jurors. The selections represent a breadth and depth of visual artistry, from portraiture and botanicals to nature, architecture, and street photography in both color and black and white.

The Best in Show honor went to Rebecca Carpenter for "Boxed In — Timeless # II." A tie for second place recognized Laura Brandt’s “Final Bow” and Michael Frank’s “Held Between Stops."

The Jane and Anthony Ford-Hutchinson Award was won by Richard Van Fleet for "Enchantress." And the Louise-Rakestraw-Chappell Memorial Award went to Laurie Santoro for "Fulcrum."

The winners are on view at the Mill through April 17, as well as on the Mill’s website and online gallery at phillipsmill.org.

“Caimans Tears” by Rebecca DePorte is part of the "Not Your Run Of the Mill" show.

“Breakfast” by David Rodstein in part of the "Not Your Run of the Mill" show.

When the juried show comes down, the spotlight refocuses on work by the Mill Photo Committee, a dedicated group of talented professional and amateur photographers who organize the juried exhibition each year.

The "Not Your Run of the Mill Photo Show" will be on view from April 19 to 26. A special feature of this show, “The Backwall,” highlights a themed collection of images that explore a common concept. This year’s theme is “Happy Mistakes,” unexpected images resulting from shooting errors such as fogged lenses, an accidental shutter release, or unintended movement.

The Mill Photo committee meets and shares their interests in all things photography throughout the year. Like the juried exhibition, the Photo Committee show fills both levels of
the Mill, upstairs and down, with exceptional works of fine art photography on the walls, as well as dozens of matted prints in the portfolio bins. All work is for sale.

Gallery hours are Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 1 to 5 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays, 1 to 7 p.m. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. A donation of $5 is requested.
