This year, the prints will hang on the walls in the celebrated mill.

"This show is one of the prime benefits of joining the Mill Photograph Committee," explains Saunders. "It is the advantage for all the difficult piece of work these volunteers put in each year beyond 20 different committees, from marketing to digital and social media to edifice walls, setting the lights and hanging the show."

The Factory Photograph members employ all sorts of techniques in their art, a news release said. Some apply traditional styles, some bend the light, and others test the limits of new photographic technologies.

Lensman Dutch Bagley was start accepted in the Mill'south juried show in 2015.

Bagley connected, "The free energy and enthusiasm of the other committee members is contagious, and each one has some knowledgeabout photography and life that inspires us all."

His work has won various awards at Phillips' Manufactory and beyond, most recently taking First Identify in the 2022 Michael Day International Competition. His work has been published in Photographer's FORUM'south "Best of Photography Annual" for three years in a row.

"Being part of a creative community, an especially adept one similar the Mill Photo committee, satisfies my need to connect and exist a part of something bigger than myself," he said."I've learned how much gets done behind the scenes, responding to assist entrants and other volunteers in generating the exhibitions."

"I've been a volunteer for iii years," said Sharlene Holliday, one of the newer Factory Photograph members. "I dear the camaraderie amongst the Manufacturing plant volunteer photographers…learning from other artists and seeing what other artists are working on. Information technology's also fun!"
