Open to Interpretation
A Juried Book Competition of Photography, Poetry and Prose
 

 

Intimate Landscape

Landscapes conjure images of vast, sweeping scenes, but the details captured by a photograph can turn a seemingly impersonal setting into an intimate story. It's up to the artist to define what constitutes an intimate landscape, be it representational, non-representational, urban, suburban or rural.
