Now that she has refined her technique, she sells numerous prints each year through gallery shows and art exhibitions. She is president of the San Luis Obispo Camera Club and insists that she draws great inspiration and guidance from all the fine photographers that comprise the membership. Phalen submitted 10 entries to our contest this year. Five won recognition. The fact remains that the judges have no idea who has entered any of the photographs they select.
Many photographers submit several photos in each of several categories.
Since each entry requires an entry fee and represents the expense of printing and mounting, it is our philosophy that each deserves an equal chance at winning. We welcome your comments regarding the contest and the winning images as we plan next year's Image 2001 contest and try to make it even better. In the meantime, please enjoy this year's collection. Pick up New Times at over 600 locations in San Luis Obispo and Northern Santa Barbara Counties.
