Columbus State University Rankin Photography Center

Enjoyed hosting a group of young photographers from Elizabeth Canty Homes today at The Rankin. They received a tour of our facility (gallery, studio, classrooms) got a mini-photography lesson and a Photoshop demo.

A big thanks to all the photographers who entered Columbus Photographers 2021! Because we extended the deadline, and for other extenuating circumstances, I am moving the jurors' decisions date to to Sunday, July 11. This should give evryone whose work is selected plenty of time to prepare it for the exhibit. Stay tuned!

We still have a couple of seats open for Saturday's Camera Lab class-it's all about your camera! https://columbus.augusoft.net/index.cfm

New deadline for Columbus Photographers 2021 entries: Midnight, June 13! All pertinent information: www.rankinartsphotography.com Upload photos: https://kennygray.wetransfer.com Pay entry fee(s): https://columbus.augusoft.net/index.cfm

In 2011 The Columbus Museum contracted Savannah-based photographer Ellen Susan to take likenesses of several soldiers from nearby Fort Benning, using nineteenth...-century techniques. The artist had previously created similar portraits of service members from Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield in southeastern Georgia. About this haunting overarching group of images, the artist explained: "I felt that the 150-year old collodion process could be a meaningful way to photograph contemporary soldiers, to provide a counterpoint to the anonymous representations of soldiers seen in newspapers and on television. The necessarily long exposures of this slow process often result in an intensity of gaze that asks the viewer to look longer, and the grainless, highly detailed surface brings out minute details of each individual. In the end, I wanted to produce physically enduring [and] emotionally arresting images of people who are being sent repeatedly into a war zone with no apparent end in sight." #MuseumColumbus #USArmy View object: https://bit.ly/2ETf3tk
