                  The world has changed, so were told, since September 2001. Im 
      not sure that you would know it from the photography that we are seeing 
      of the human condition at the start of the 21st century. There have always 
      been religious and territorial wars - now modern technology allows the whole 
      world to see the action and effects with an immediacy that can be startling. 
      Photography can both be there and be shown instantaneously world-wide, but 
      there is still room for a more contemplative consideration of the photographic 
      story - and that is what exposure is about. 
       We do not select particular issues, rather we look for strong photography 
        and novel approaches. We want to show new contemporary work, but also 
        photography from the past or other countries that has had little or no 
        exposure in the UK. This year saw a strong increase in the number and 
        quality of submissions and as a result the selection panel has had difficult 
        decisions where an issue has been covered in more than one way. Nevertheless, 
        the number of exhibitions selected has doubled and we have increased the 
        total number of exhibitions and projects again this year.   |
