2nd Place - 2008 Summer Show
The Frederic Camera Clique's 2008 Summer Show opened today and my photo -- "Newborn Hope" -- placed 2nd in the Portrait & Figure category! Anytime I have entries accepted to a juried show I am thrilled and placing is the icing on the cake. Part of the enjoyment I take from this year's showing is that newborn, infant, and children's portraiture make up a good bit of the studio portraiture I do. It's very encouraging when judges in the field put that kind of stamp of approval on your efforts!
The Frederick Camera Clique is a Frederick based photography club and their juried art exhibition that runs every summer at the Mary Condon Hodgeson Gallery at Frederick Community College is considered to be one of the most prestigious shows in the area. It draws artists from all over Maryland, DC, Virginia, and Pennsylvania resulting in a great show and stiff competition for all who enter.This summer was their 23rd annual show. The show is open to the public and runs through September 2, if you are in the neighborhood, stop in and check it out!
