San Antonio, Texas & Dover, Delaware – A print created by David Koster of Portraits In The Sand of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware has recently been accepted into the Collection of the 115th International Exhibition of Professional Photography. The print titled “Sandy Sunday” featured Jack and Lisa Dagget and dog Molly of Rehoboth Beach. Koster’s work was on display at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center January 14-16, 2007, in San Antonio, TX. This exhibition was held in conjunction with Imaging USA, Professional Photographers of America’s annual convention.

Approximately 5,000 entries were submitted to PPA’s International Print Competition, from which a panel of more than 40 eminent photographers from across the United States selected the images that would comprise the 2006 General and Loan Collections. “Sandy Sunday” was shown in San Antonio alongside approximately 4,000 other photographic works from not only PPA’s print competition, but also traveling and special invitational displays. Altogether these images will constitute the world’s largest annual exhibit of professional photography gathered simultaneously under one roof.

From:	PPA	(Wed Mar 21 07:23:42 2007)
Koster’s print was judged by the Photographic Exhibitions Committee (PEC) of PPA using the 12 elements known as the “gold standard” to define a merit image. PEC trains judges to be mindful of these elements when judging images to the PPA merit level and to be placed in the International Print Exhibit at the annual convention. The use of these 12 elements connects the modern practice of photography and its photographers to the historical practice of photography begun nearly two centuries ago. The twelve elements have been defined as necessary for the success of an art piece or image. Any image, art piece or photograph will reveal some measure of all twelve elements, while a visually superior example will reveal obvious consideration of each one. They are: impact, creativity, style, composition, print presentation, center of interest, lighting, subject matter, color balance, technical excellence, technique and story telling.
