Subject: Image Review #4

Judge: Mike Baker

Mike Baker has lived his entire life in the Deep South of the United States; most which has been spent living in the great State of South Carolina. Mike was fortunate to enjoy a career in public service that allowed him to also pursue his interests as an artist. Since leaving public service, he has focused on the art and business of photography, serving public, government, and commercial clients.

Mike’s photographs have been published by local, regional and national publications including The Atlantic, The Charlotte Observer, Our State Magazine, National Geographic and others. He has had approximately 100 articles, relating to photography, published in regional publications. He has had the honor of having many of his photographs exhibited in juried shows and competitions and his work has made its way into private and public collections. The most recent shows include the 2023 Slow Exposures juried competition in Zebulon, Georgia, and an invitational show at Winthrop University titled Rites Preserved in Rock Hill, South Carolina. Mike is a long time Artist in Residence at the Center for the Arts in Rock Hill.

 WAUSSAUK Competition

 The Charlotte Camera Club is hosting the WAUSSAUK competition. The WAUSSAUK competition is a four continent club competition.  The four clubs are from Western Australia, the US, South Africa and the United Kingdom. We need a volunteer to coordinate it.  The coordinator would work with the judges of the competition to document the images scores and report back to the board when this is done.  The images would be uploaded to the SmugMug by March 1st. Judging would occur in the weeks after and Anastasia Tompkins will then take the information and the images to create the PowerPoint that goes back to the participating clubs.

 Here are the rules for the competition:

 Rules

·  There will be two categories:

1.      Color

·  It does not matter how many photos are entered in the Color category or the B/W category, as long as the total number of images submitted by each club does not exceed 25.

·  There will be scoring for the Color category and scoring for the B/W category..

·  The scores will be combined to get the final scores to determine the overall winning club.
