Entry Form

Juror: Bill Dewey

Bill Dewey is a native of San Diego County and attended Brooks Institute of Photography, the University of California at Davis and Rochester Institute of Technology.  He has had his private pilot's license since 1981 and bases his aerial photography out of Santa Barbara airport.
Bill has been photographing the California landscape since taking up the camera in the early 1970's and has had a photography studio/business in Santa Barbara for 30 years.   He works in a variety of formats and media including both film and digital.  Some of his favorite subjects include the California Channel Islands, the Carrizo Plain, Baja California, and the rural California landscape.  A member of the Santa Barbara OAK Group, he has been distinctly influenced by the art and character of Ray Strong.
His work can be found in the collections of Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the Museum of Ventura County, the Carnegie Museum of Oxnard, the Santa Cruz Island Foundation, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Sales and Rental Gallery, as well as those of many private individuals.
Bill's photography of the California Channel Islands has taken him to all eight of the islands which has entitled him membership in the elite "all Eight Club."
