Exit, an image by PACC member Wright Schickli, was selected for inclusion in the Portal Exhibition of the A Smith Gallery in Johnson City, Texas.  Photographers were invited to submit work reflecting the theme "portal" – doorway, entrance, opening, entry, gate, egress, opening, aperture, porte, exit, hatch, mirror, passage, threshold, cut, entrada, hole, scuttle, window, approach, camera, breach, mirror, etc.  Christa Dix, Executive Director of the Griffin Museum of Photography in Boston, was the juror.  The exhibition runs from October 27 through December 7 and may be seen at:  https://asmithgallery.com/exhibitions/portal-4/.  The reception for the exhibition will take place virtually on November 25 at 3pm CST as a YouTube video (not yet available).


Wright says:  I captured this image around midnight when I noticed the full moon shining in through our bathroom skylight.  I was dazzled by the shadows and had to make myself grab my B&W camera.   When I realized my tripod was in my car, I used my towel rack to steady the camera instead.  I would have lost even more sleep had I not taken this photo (although I wondered if I should have just retrieved my tripod for the photo at the time).

 

Exit was awarded First Place in the Open Category of the 2022 PACC Annual Print Competition by juror Victoria Heilwell.
