Quinto Certamen de Fotografía Periodística, San Juan, Puerto Rico, August, 1995 “Nitza Luna has also chosen her own neighborhood to uncover exotic primordial details of her neighbors’ gardens in suburban San Juan, creating sensuous platinum prints with a turn of the century twelve by twenty inch camera. These impeccable contact prints of foliage and close-ups of palm leaves are both decorative and perceptual, finding a certain tranquility and beauty in their perfect form.” |
