(s)Light of Hand 2019: Juried Alternative Process Exhibition

Suda House is a San Diego-based photographer with over four decades of experience in the medium. Her passion for photography began in Los Angeles when she witnessed her first image develop in the darkroom—a magical moment that ignited a lifelong dedication to the craft. She continues to create and exhibit her work, driven by the belief that photography has the power to inspire others to see, experience, and capture images that reflect their personal vision.

Suda is a strong advocate for visual literacy, critical thinking, and social responsibility in photography. In an age where cameras are ubiquitous and images are shared instantly across the internet, she emphasizes the importance of understanding photography's rich history and its potential to enrich and even change the world. Her work celebrates the power of the individual voice and encourages photographers to use their unique vantage point to make a positive impact.

In a life dedicated to photography since 1971, Donna Cosentino has been a news photographer, museum docent, curator, educator, and leader in the photographic community. After thirty years of teaching photography, Donna retired and opened The Photographer’s Eye in Escondido, a gallery whose mission is to enlighten and educate the community on the history and art of photography through exhibitions and classes.
