Eleven: Upon Reflection

Organization: Viewpoint Photographic Art Center Location Sacramento, California Entry Fee Paid Entry Deadline September 14, 2025 Exhibition Nov 5 - Dec 20, 2025
OPEN CALL FOR ENTRIES
Upon Reflection is the theme for ELEVEN, Viewpoints end of the year juried exhibition. Reflections are all around us. From the catch light in the eyes of a child, mirrors large and small, quiet waters, gemstones, puddles, hub caps, and windowpanes, reflections are fascinating. As glass allows both transparency and protection, it also opens our view to other dimensions and realities. Consider the layers seen by French photographer Eugene Atget in Parisian shop windows in 1910. Today, when driving we are reminded of the change in reality with the caution, Objects in mirror are closer than they appear. The world is altered in the reflection. Adding further interest to the theme is understanding reflection to mean pondering or giving serious thought. Reflection by this definition opens a window to the past while 'upon reflection' might suggest a change in perspective through further consideration. This range whether reflections emanating from various surfaces or unwrapping puzzles in the overlay of what we are seeing to thoughtfully reviewing in the moment or from the past, are all open to your visual interpretation. Viewpoint Photographic Art Center welcomes your concepts, conclusions, creativity and craftsmanship as you connect with the theme Upon Reflection for the 2nd annual ELEVEN juried exhibit. We hope you accept the challenge.

ELEVEN: Upon Reflection is a national Open Call for both members and non-members of Viewpoint to participate.

ABOUT THE JUROR
Alyson Belcher is a photo educator and exhibiting artist. The history of photography holds a special interest for Belcher and influences her choice of photo tools and approaches. Her work involves focused projects using various photographic methods from cyanotype to pinhole cameras. She has created still life isolations of grace and strength with twigs and fallen leaves as subjects and a personal collection of antique medicine bottles painted with light from a flashlight. Using pinhole cameras, Belcher examined human movement through self-portraits and studies of dancers. In her landscape images she captured the entanglements of nature in Golden Gate Park and timeless dreamlike views in the portfolio titled River Walks. Her photographic projects and artist statements can be seen at alysonbelcher.com. She holds a BA in Humanities from US Berkeley and MFA in Photography from CSUSF.
