Bob Krist

Phillips’ Mill Photo has announced that esteemed freelance photographer Bob Krist will be the sole juror for the 2022 Phillips’ Mill Photo Exhibition. This will be the first time since 2018 that the show will be on the gallery walls at the historic Phillips’ Mill in New Hope, Pa. The exhibition will run from April 2–22.

Krist’s freelance photography and filmmaking for National Geographic, National Geographic Traveler, Smithsonian, and Islands magazines and other clients have taken him to more than 150 countries on all seven continents.

During these assignments, he has captured not only some of the world’s most breathtaking scenery, but also the fascinating characters, cultural rituals, and simple everyday occurrences that make life so interesting. However, he doesn’t like to think of himself as a great adventurer. Rather, he says he’s just a visual storyteller whose early days as a photojournalist taught him to intuitively seek beauty, truth, and the most compelling human interest angle.

Krist has won awards in the Pictures of the Year, Communication Arts, and World Press Photo competitions. He was named “Travel Photographer of the Year” by the Society of American Travel Writers three times and was honored at the Eisenstadt Awards for Magazine Photography. His latest book, Old Souls & Timeless Places, won the Best Travel Book of 2020 in the Lowell Thomas Travel Journalism competition sponsored by the Journalism School at the University of Missouri.

The Phillips’ Mill is located at 2619 River Road in New Hope, Pa. Visit phillipsmillphoto.com for more information and the call for artists. The entry period is February 1–March 6.
