“The jury was unanimous that Jessica Dimmock had photographed heroin addicts living on “The Ninth Floor” of a Manhattan apartment building in a surprising, powerful, and intimate way. The tale of the terrible consequences of heroin abuse has been documented many times before, but Jessica epitomized our idea of the concerned photographer by her obvious deep compassion for the people she portrayed. The photographs brilliantly capture the chaotic atmosphere of human lives spinning out of control. Her contemporary visual language coupled with a strong narrative approach compels the viewer to understanding and to care. The jury for the inaugural F Award was impressed by the exceptional quality and depth of the many excellent photography projects presented for consideration.”
