2022 Newmarket Juried Art Show
Best Photography Award
My black and white photograph titled Jack’s Video Sports Bar received the Best Photography Award in the 2022 Newmarket Juried Art Show.
The same photograph was also a Single Image Winner in the Black & White Magazine Single Image Special Issue #131.
Jack’s Video Sports Bar, Cleveland, Ohio, USA, 2015
Medium: Black and White Chromaluxe HD Metal Print
Statement: Deindustrialization has led to widespread social and economic change. The remains of Jack’s ornate sign and building architecture remind us that this fallen neighbourhood was once vibrant and alive. It’s fascinating and bittersweet imagining the past times here. Now a single set of footsteps in a dusting of snow pass by without stopping, in juxtaposition to the workers from the East Cleveland Railroad Power House, visible to the left in the background, who would have once met here after a hard day of making things. In the distance, the top of the modern Key Tower skyscraper shines like a beacon against sympathetic skies, contrasting where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re heading.
