Competition Theme<\/strong>: “Making the World Go ‘Round – Gears, Sprockets, and Wheels” within the past three (3) years<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The image should include gears, sprockets, or wheels. Gears, sprockets, and wheels have two things in common \u2013 they are round and move in a circular motion. Some we see daily \u2013 such as bikes and auto wheels, while others are usually hidden from view, such as gears in many watches and clocks. They come in all sizes, from minuscule to gigantic.  Some are practical and utilitarian, and some are colorful and fun. They could be in motion or at rest. They could be functional or no longer in service. Compositions can be created or found, real or abstract.  Definitions: A gear<\/strong> is a rotating circular machine part having cut teeth which mesh with another toothed part to transmit torque and speed. A sprocket<\/strong>, sprocket-wheel<\/strong> or chainwheel<\/strong> is a profiled wheel with teeth that mesh with a chain, track, or other perforated or indented material.  A wheel<\/strong> is a circular frame or disk arranged to revolve on an axis, as part of a vehicle or machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The offspring of two photographers, Deborah is convinced an inescapable passion for photography was imprinted on her DNA. Raised on film and in a darkroom, she believes the essence of photography is the art and science of painting with light. Deborah uses her camera as an artist would use a paintbrush and thinks about her work as visual alchemy\u2015a transformation not of matter into gold but of light, color, and line into art. Multiple exposure and intentional camera movement are essential tools of her alchemy allowing her to challenge reality rather than simply recording what lies in front of her lens. Patience, experimentation, and the benevolence of the photography gods are also integral to her work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deborah\u2019s work is part of individual and corporate collections across the country and her \u201cHomage to the Cubists in Paris\u201d was awarded 1st Place in the 14th Annual International Color Awards (2021). She has also had the privilege of participating in a multitude of group exhibitions in the US, including Sequences, Iterations and Permutations<\/em> at the Hyde Park Arts Center (Chicago, IL, 2022); Any Shape or Form<\/em> and Enigma<\/em> at the Upstream Gallery (Hastings-on-Hudson, NY, 2022, 2023); iMotif <\/em>at Sohn Fine Arts (Lenox, MA, 2021); Ricochet <\/em>at the Katonah Museum of Art (Katonah, NY, 2021); and Rhythm of the Unseen<\/em> at Soho Photo Gallery (New York, NY, 2023), as well as internationally at the Horsebridge Arts Centre\u2019s Abstract Rhythm & Blue Notes<\/em> exhibition (Whitstable, Kent, UK, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deborah\u00a0serves\u00a0as a judge and speaker at camera clubs nationwide and teaches\u00a0a range of photography courses via Zoom. She is also a regular contributor to Everett Potter\u2019s Travel Report, where she chronicles her global adventures in words and images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
