Allyson Ely’s image, Flight, was selected for inclusion in Soho Photo Gallery’s Annual Members Group Exposition, Intimacy. The juror was Elinor Carucci, an Israeli-born American photographer and educator who is based in New York City and noted for her intimate portrayals of her family's lives, emotions, relationships, and identity. She chose “intimacy” as this year’s theme. She said:  I encourage artists to think of intimacy not only as physical closeness between people, but as emotional, psychological, or sensory connection – to a place, an object, a memory, or a state of mind. Intimacy from our lives and situation, or people close to us, or seen in other spaces, spheres, or strangers.
