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/.
