March 2011

The Global Images International Travel Photography by Montclair State University Faculty and Staff, co-sponsored by the Global Education Center, MFA Studio Program and University Art Galleries, was started in 2002 to highlight hidden talents and skills as well as the broad international experience of our campus community.

Drawn from over 100 submissions, the selected works by 15 individuals feature 13 countries, including not only France, Italy, Spain and England but also China, Nepal, India, Bosnia, Tanzania, the Czech Republic and the prizewinning photograph of the Dominican Republic. They range from sharp photojournalistic commentary to interpretations of Impressionist paintings.

This year the panel of judges included Professor Andrew Atkinson of the Department of Art and Design, Mike Peters, Director of Photographic Services, University Communications and MFA students Kristen Sweeney and Christopher Luongo. I would like to extend our thanks to the judges for their work in selecting the photographs to be exhibited.

On behalf of the Global Education Center, I would like to congratulate the three prize winners and six honorable mentions and all who shared their fascinating images. As you continue to explore the world beyond our campus you enrich us all.
