Michael C. Roberts is a licensed clinical psychologist who has published professional and scientific articles, chapters, and books. Seeking to fulfill his creative side, he values things and scenes that are overlooked or backdrops to everyday life. His photographs have appeared on journal covers and in literary publications. He often uses cheap plastic cameras, such as the Diana, Holga, and La Sardinia for making photographs on film, but also resorts to digital at times. A photographic book on Amazon is Imaging the World with Plastic Cameras: Diana and Holga.
Edie Noesser lives on Balboa Island, California. She is interested in nature, bird watching, and urban scenes, bringing her camera along as much as possible.
Kathy McConnell is an award-winning photographer who teaches cell phone photography and writing at Walla Walla Community College in Walla Walla, Washington. She posts regularly on her blog, Box of Tales. The photos submitted for this edition were edited with a Samsung comic filter. Her philosophy of photography is to look for patterns and sightlines. Comic mode generates images that appear as hand-drawn illustrations.
Using black & white 120 film, Philip Arnold’s photographs explore lo-fidelity atmospheres often suggestive of memory and daydreams. His subjects are static and fluid and seek to capture the dynamic energy of street environments within the geometries and textures of their built environment. He employs optical conditions, primarily through the use of a plastic lens, to add resonance to historical cityscapes and urban topographies—and to amplify the singular among the common. Arnold’s photography has appeared in Humana Obscura, Black & White magazine, Atticus Review, Fugue, Compose, Apeiron Review, and Gravel Magazine, and has exhibited at the Soho Photo Gallery (NYC), A Smith Gallery (Texas), Nave Gallery (Mass), and Santa Clara University (CA).
