ACC Photography Student Work Exhibited at National Conference (Nov. 03, 2009) -

QUEENSBURY – Jessica Bowen of Schroon Lake, a communications and media arts major at Adirondack Community College, was selected to have three of her photographs displayed at a juried student photography exhibition at a conference of the Society for Photographic Education – Mid-Atlantic/Northeast (SPEMA) November 6-8 at Montclair State University in New Jersey.

“I was real excited when they notified me about the exhibition,” Jessica said. “My work will be competing with work from students from larger four-year schools, and it’s nice to get that recognition.”

Her photographs will be part of a looped PowerPoint presentation which will be projected throughout the conference. The names of the student winners will be announced November 7, and a reception for the winners will be held that evening.

Jessica will graduate from ACC in December with an AAS degree, and is looking to transfer to either Sage College or the Fashion Institute of Technology in the fall.

According to its web site, the Society for Photographic Education is “a non-profit membership organization that provides a forum for the discussion of photography-related media as a means of creative expression and cultural insight.”
