EXPANSION V
In late 2016 a group of five photographers based in the Southwestern Border area came together to informally discuss their personal projects and aesthetic directions. As a result of those gatherings it became apparent that, although the individual work was quite different, there was a common thread of exploration and approach to expressing each ones’ personal narrative. Expansion V celebrates the diversity and quality of Emmitt Booher, Paul Schranz, Storm Sermay, Sirous Partovi and James Rodgers work. The exhibition was curated by Emmitt Booher.

Juror: Amy Holmes George
First Place Award-"Jornada del Muerto"
Juror's comments:
"Your photograph is simply stunning. It is the quintessential "high and dry" image. I was struck by the grand sense of scale and how I felt as if I was floating high above the landscape. The many layers of information offer so much to the eye. And, even the choice to print the image in black and white seems to convey a sense of "dryness" . . .
