Online Group Exhibition - "Myths and Fables” April 2022
Analog Forever Magazine is pleased to showcase 45 images in this month’s online exhibition, entitled “Myths and Fables,” curated by Film Shooters Collective Curator Amy Jasek!
Amy Jasek writes: I was blown away by the submissions everyone sent in! I know jurors always say they have to make tough choices, it's a difficult decision, etc - well, it's the truth. Every single image that I looked at had a story to tell; y'all did an amazing job interpreting the theme! I was thrilled to see a variety of analog techniques represented, too. In the end, selections still had to be made, and I hope you will enjoy not just looking at them but looking in to them as well. I hope you will let them speak to you, because they all have a lot to say. Some seem literal; others can carry you to a different horizon; some stories are worn boldly, breaking through the skin, while others raise questions, open portals, overlap time and space, pierce your point of view with a direct and challenging gaze. Some stories are embedded in the land, in structures, in objects that hold on to feelings. Some seek to bridge the divide between us, offering up an open door. This is just an example of things that I saw - what will you see? And what tales can you tell, yourself?

About the Curator
Native Texan and photographer’s daughter, Amy Jasek graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Dance in 1999. She took up photography seriously in 2003, and began exhibiting her darkroom prints in 2009. The main focus of her work is narrative / candid and documentary in nature; people are what she enjoys photographing most, but she can find joy in photographing just about anything. She also writes, plays the piano, and makes an obsessive amount of cyanotypes when the mood strikes.
For the past bunch of years, Amy has been a website manager and Instagram curator for the Film Shooters Collective. She enjoys getting the members and their online community involved in projects and encouraging people to use traditional analog methods for making photographs. She has also curated the World Cyanotype Day Instagram, for the love of the process and her friend Judy Sherrod.
