ELEVEN: A FINE LINE

Language is full of lines: inline, online, outline, streamline, deadline, and more. We recognize the phrase a fine line as pointing out narrow distinctions in comparisons, such as a fine line between great and excellent. In addition to the comparative quality, a fine line holds visual possibilities since line is a fundamental element in all artistic media. More than 145 photographers from 7 states, coast to coast, submitted their interpretation of A Fine Line. Juror Randy Snook selected 90 images from over 500 submissions. The exhibit is full of well-seen lines!
