Analog Forever Magazine is thrilled to unveil our newest upcoming online exhibition, “Marks on the Land,” which will debut February 28th, 2025. Curated by Anne Leighton Massoni, Executive Director of the Houston Center for Photography in Texas, this exhibition promises to be a captivating journey into the realm of analog photography.

We invite you to explore and respond to our unique prompt with your film or analog photography. The most compelling images will be featured in this online show. Embrace this opportunity to delve deep into the essence of photography and explore this profound theme below.

Prompt: The landscape reveals as much as it hides of our human past and present on its surface. Scars of birth and death alike on its land and waters; still open wounds of war and acts of unity centuries old as reminders but not always of lessons learned. Since the advent of the camera we have witnessed with the lens these shifts made on our planet and our contributions both subtle and overt.

As a current spectator with camera in hand and the analog methods we love, show us how you see humankind’s effect on our lands. We implore you to make a statement with your art.

Deadline for Submissions: February 1st, 2025.
