Continuing the concept of on line photo critiques….
This month’s critical remarks are provided by Christine Miller. Christine holds an MFA in photography from SUNY New Paltz, and she has taught art for nearly 15 years at Mohawk Valley Community College in Utica, NY. Her teaching philosophy is admirable “I do what I do because I feel passionate about visual communication, regardless of the medium, and I enjoy sharing that enthusiasm with my students.”
Acting as the January judge at the monthly meeting of the Utica Camera Club, Christine’s choices and comments are provided below. In general, Christine commented that she looks for three elements when she judges: technique, aesthetic elements, and communication. Tonalities are part of an image as much as the shapes within it. Color also becomes another design element.
Special thanks to Christine Miller and Cheri Sassman, who provided her images, for their contributions to this on going critique experiment. Christine Miller’s comments appear under each photograph.

The photo of the swallows provokes something very visceral when I notice the acknowledgement several birds give to the new arrival. Friend not foe, accepted without question, warmth and welcome. It feels good!
Popcorn; someone’s dream or livelihood? How often we come across similar abandoned articles, farm implements or car doors. It is as if some who preceeded us left clues about their lives, probably unwittingly. But it makes me think about them just as this photo does.
