Biggs Shot 2009 features the selected works from the Biggs Shot 2009: Photography Competition: the second juried photography competition and exhibition hosted by the Biggs Museum. Biggs Shot 2009 features the works of new and emerging photographers, working and/or living in the Mid-Atlantic region. Stephen Perloff, editor of The Photo Review and The Photograph Collector and competition juror, selected 80 photographs to be displayed in the Biggs Shot 2009 Exhibition. These photographs offer visitors a wide range of local photographers’ works and their perspectives. Biggs Shot 2009: On-Line, the first on-line exhibition hosted by the Biggs Museum, creates a virtual exhibition experience for members of the public who are unable to visit the Museum during the exhibition. All 80 selected images are available for view in Biggs Shot 2009: On-Line in addition to Q&A sessions with the photographers.
