Each photographer sees the world differently, and the shots they capture through their lens can reflect their own unique perspective. For this fall’s exhibit in the Del Mar College (DMC) Cain Art Gallery, the Art Program will host the show, Texas Photographic Society 32: The International Competition, beginning this Friday, Sept. 20, with an opening reception that features 49 photographs selected by juror María Beatriz H. Carrión, Assistant Curator of Photographs at the Amon Carter Museum of Art. In Fort Worth.

A great photographer can not only capture a moment in time, but also tell a story through color, lighting and composition. We’re looking forward to showcasing the vision of the photographers in this exhibition.
