This year鈥檚 exhibition was judged by Todd Brown, an architectural designer, carpenter and visual artist based in Hastings. He earned bachelors and masters degrees in architecture from the University of Nebraska鈥揕incoln. With a strong background in historic renovation, Brown’s work in this field has granted him unique access to the spaces he captures in his photography.
