Salon 2018 Awards Reception
The Awards Reception for the 2018 Salon Exhibition was held Saturday 11/20 in the beautiful 3rd Floor Gallery at First Baptist Church of Decatur. Lots of members, friends and neighbors came to enjoy the show. So many "People's Choice" ballots were cast that they are still being counted! (I guess everyone was into practicing voting for the upcoming election!!)
Award Winners
Congratulations to Brandon Ward for his 1st Place Monochrome and "Best in Show" image, Door Shapes. Please, if you're able to come see the show, take a close look at the incredible detail in Brandon's print. It definitely makes a case for the artistic capabilities of large format film images. Wonderful job Brandon!
