Honorable Mention
Flower Stand on the Corner
DESCRIPTION
“Flower Stand on the Corner” focuses on the ephemeral and ever changing nature of being. The subject of the photograph is a flower stand on a street corner located in the Upper West Side. Color, light, and compositional changes were used to manipulate the elements within the photograph as to more fully express the protean nature of their beauty, of all that surrounds them, and of all things. AUTHOR
Sam Rittenberg lives and works in New York City. His primary interest is in the ability of a photograph to express the infinite and paradoxical interplay of destruction and creation. He is guided by the idea that every photograph, every work of art, has the potential to be a portal to that which is ordinarily beyond us.
