"SAN MARCOS (December 3, 2010) – Palomar College student photography will be on display in an exhibit entitled Enlightened Lens 2010 at the Escondido Municipal Gallery from Dec. 10 - 30. A reception for the artists will be held Saturday, Dec. 11 from 5:30 – 8 p.m.

Palomar photography instructor Donna Cosentino said, “Enlightened Lens 2010 was juried by the photography faculty from over 150 photographs. These artworks were entered by students who range from beginning to advanced status. The show includes nearly sixty artworks -- digital and film-based, color and black and white, and traditional darkroom as well as alternative process images.”

The students in the Palomar College Photography Department represent a diverse group in age, interest and background, coming from all areas of north San Diego County and beyond. Cosentino noted, “Their goals range from exploring career options to life enrichment. In addition to acquiring strong technical skills, students are encouraged to pursue their own expressive personal vision as evidenced by the work displayed in this exhibition. Palomar College has a well-known and highly-respected photography department that has managed a vigorous and varied program for more than 40 years.”
