The Houston Photographic Society’s (HPS) monthly print competition was held at the Tracy Gee Community Center on February 27, 2018. The submitted images were anonymously critiqued and the winners were selected by retired professional photographer Frank Kreipe.
Frank is a Professional Photographer, who received his Diploma in professional scientific Photography at Brooks Institute, Santa Barbara, CA. After working at the Navy, he started to work at the VA Hospital in Houston TX. as a scientific and medical illustration photographer with expertise in Science, Fine Art, Landscapes, Nature and Design Elements. After 34 of dedicated photography work, and department leadership, he retired, and teaches photography. His wive Rachel Kreipe is not just a wonderful partner, but a highly acclaimed fine art painter, who influenced Frank’s artistic vision many ways. We were happy to have Frank as a reviewer at the HPS Print competition.
