2008 Awards Finalist .... & Publication
« on: September 02, 2008, 04:13:42 AM »
Hi everyone, I haven't been on here very much at all I'm sorry and will try and make a better effort. I am very impressed by the quality of work on this site, wonderful stuff!!

I don't enter many competitions but every few years I'll throw one out there to see what happens. My "Rainman" print has been chosen as a finalist in the Iris Awards with the final judging on the 11th Sept and wanted to share it with you. It's been a long time coming but slowly we're getting to see a few photography events in our city.

Also, my work is currently published over 5 pages in the Photo Review Australia magazine. Kudos to them, they did a wonderful job with the images! The interview was unexpected and over the phone, which didn't leave me much time for thoughtful comments, so I still haven't been game to read it!!! :D
Best wishes,
Nicole

Hi everyone thank you very much for all your well wishes. Unfortunately the print didn't get a mention but has been accepted into the exhibition for two weeks. The winning prints were... somewhat... ummm... well, lifesize and girl pleasing guy - that sort of stuff - nothing I could compete with in this image. ;)

Oh, also they were all inkjet prints tacked to the wall with notice board pins and me the dummy archivally matted my selenium toned FB silver gelatin print for a professional presentation. ;)

I would love to see it bigger, but it sure looks like a gorgeous, evocative print.

Looks like it deserves to be among a more select crowd.

Prints tacked to the wall? Phooey. How 1970s.
