According to Buddha
The New Year has come to greet you with new hopes, new determination, new will-to-achieve, new activities.
MISSION: To promote and exhibit innovative, thoughtful, and provocative photography created by CANADIAN contemporary image makers.
INFOCUS PHOTO is an annual exhibition curated by Alexis Marie Chute. In it’s first year, 2015, the show took place at Harcourt House Artist Run Centre and featured Edmonton and area photographers. In the second year, InFocus expanded to celebrate the best photography from across Alberta, showcased at dc3 Art Projects. Now, in its third installment, InFocus has fulfilled its mission of welcoming submissions from ALL Canadian photographers. This year, 2017, the curated show will be mounted in The Front Gallery. InFocus takes place every February during Exposure Photography Festival. http://www.infocusphoto.ca/
I am thrilled to be included as an emerging photographer.

Inspired by the theme “The Future” here are my three images that are curated into the 2017 InFocus Photo Exhibit.
‘Bright’ by Hedy Bach ~ Edmonton 2016
‘Reflexion’ by Hedy Bach ~ Lisbon 2016
‘Talker’ by Hedy Bach ~ Lisbon 2016
All InFocus 2017 photographers are in the running for the InFocus Photo People’s Choice Award with a prize from Vistek. So some shameless self promotion as a sloppy buddhist I am hoping you will vote for my image “Talker”. You can vote once a day for my photo…and of course there are many to choose from…but I would like to see how many votes I can collect from around the world. Voting is now OPEN and closes the day before the opening reception: Wednesday, February 8, 2017 at 11:59pm.
The competition can be accessed at http://www.infocusphoto.ca/infocus-2017-peoples-choice/.

happy new year’s Chris…it will be an adventure i’m sure 😀 and yes votes from Boston will be great…also send some attention to the art works of Alexis Marie Chute and all the work with the InFocus team ~ lots of invisible work in putting on exhibitions…happy monday already ~ 😀
You’ll definitely have support from Boston. Some of the other work is also beautiful. Yes, Monday already but I have this week off from classes also. Have a great week. Cheers.
yes i thrilled to be this fine community of visual artists…it’s pretty cool to me…especially as you know i really want to learn more too…always feels like i’m chasing my tail a wee bit…but that makes it exciting and fun, for me 😀
I think it’s good to feel like you’re chasing your tail. It means that you’re continuing to grow. Hopefully, that never stops. Cheers!
yes some cognitive dissonance is always good for me 😀

Congratulations, Hedy! It’s a well-desered recognition. (My own favourite is Reflections, not that that is relevant to anything at all …)
humble thank you Penny…i’m thrilled to be a part of the emerging photographers 😀 yes my image Reflexion is from the station Gare do Oriente in Portugal…one could spend many hours photographing even days…i really did not spend much time there as we were on our way to see a friend in Evora…i really enjoyed what i experienced in Portugal…have a happy snapping monday Penny 🙂

smiling face 😀 thank you kindly Markus…i really enjoy my sloppy blog and composing my sunday and wednesday posts…and learning more about photography along the way…so yes i’m proud to share what i know and what i don’t know 😀 i really appreciate your kind words ~ many smiles over the pond 😀
So well done! You are really special! 😊👍🏼
gosh…thank you 😀 ^_^
btw, I voted for you on that infocusphoto site! 😉
sweet…i think this a way the InFocus team builds community and of course draw attention to their sites and works…i do have hedy head thoughts about this all, you know…and it’s all fun for me…
I like this kind of interaction. It’s not a competition… …just fun, to let people communicate and share. … and in case you’ll win the trophy 🏆… of course I’ll revise my words and be proud of you, because THAT was a real competition! 😃😊👍🏼
i learn by looking so when i see and look at images i learn…of course there is more but i see and then what i feel…it’s also all practice for me…but each day i do look for beauty that’s what i do on sloppy anyways…thanks for the thumbs up 😀 it is all fun!
for me other images (like you do alway) are inspiring… …no envy at all.. …just pure inspiration.. …and I want to learn.. …a wonderful feeling. 🙂
i understand Markus…for me as well it’s all about making my work stronger…and enjoying what i do…today off to printers …for final copies as i had samples printed first and i will be checking with a framer too…got to get this part of the work done…all exciting for me 😀 have a productive day Markus 😀
Congratulations, Hedy! This is exciting and so well deserved! What a great way to start out the new year!!!
Mic humble thanks 😀 yes now i have learned more about printing and framing…so that’s what i’m organizing this week…new little adventures for me…always fun and i like to learn more about this photography world in 2017 😀 compose a beautiful day ~ 😀 hedy

“Bright” is one of the most beautiful images and use of colour that I think I have seen 😀 ❤️
Thanks kindly today I picked up my images from the printers and they look so fine…all the science of photography is new to me so I’m learning more along the way…brought them to a framer who also complimented my work ☺ humble thank you Adele 😀
It looks like you have been shooting for ever, and studying the science for many years. It’s lovely to hear stories like that, like a divine intervention x
humble thank you Adele 😀 …it’s all practice and joyful for me 🙂 ^_^ have a fun day ~ smiles hedy
