The Click Off is a digital photo contest sponsored by the Mill Valley Arts Commission and local photo hub The Image Flow. Each participant drew one of five subject categories from a hat. The categories highlighted Marin’s unique characteristics and subsequently revealed each photographer’s perspective. Between November 5-19, contestants took an image that they believed best represented their subject category and received coaching from The Image Flow photographers. Cameras of all kinds were used, including cell phones.
The jury included Ed Carey, Commercial Photographer and Owner of Gallery 291, Rudi Dundas, Fine Art Photographer and Leanne Hansen, Fine Art Photographer and Past Click Off Participant.
Among the winners, George Traugh’s photo on the Depot Plaza won Unusual Beauty Second Place and the overall Best of Show, while Isabelle Lagier’s photo of the Dipsea Steps won for both Historic Mill Valley First Place and Best of Youth.
