Update-2008 Annual Photo Show

I wrote last week about submitting two pieces of art work for the 2008 Annual Photo Show, taking place at "The Carriage Barn Arts Center".

This years' show was juried by Paul Fusco, a Photojournalist and member of Magnum Photos. You can see some of his work here.
As a photojournalist, he has tackled some very serious topics, including the Chernobyl disaster, and has had seven books published.

My photo titled "The Wedding Night" was not only accepted but I got an honorable mention as well. I was so excited to hear the news, especially since it is a "wedding photo" which I view as fine art and I'm so glad that others do too. By the way, this is a photograph of David & Kassandra Beckstead that was done while attending one of his workshops in Coeur D'alene Idaho. David has this amazing eye and created some fantastic photo opportunities for us at the workshop.


The opening reception of this show is Sunday, February 10th from 4-6pm at the Carriage Barn in New Canaan. Stop in and say hi if you're in the neighborhood.
