The Photo Review Competition 2012

Cathy, Market Street, Paterson, NJ, 2011

I'm happy to announce that my portrait of Cathy on Market Street in Paterson received Third Prize in The Photo Review Competition 2012 juried by Peter Barberie, Curator of Photographs at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The portrait will be included in an exhibition this fall along with the other prize-winning photographs at Philadelphia's University of the Arts Gallery 1401. Thank you to Peter Barberie, Photo Review Editor Stephen Perloff, and Richard Newman at Calumet Photographs for supporting the competition and contributing prizes.

This same portrait is also currently a semi-finalist for the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition 2013 through the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, decision pending later this fall.

Both the portrait of Cathy and another subject in the Paterson series, Jorge, will be published in The Photo Review Competition issue this winter.

I'm excited to share some wonderful news that the portrait of Cathy from my Paterson series in progress has been selected for the semifinalist round of the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition 2013. The final round of judging takes place at the Smithsonian Museum's National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC on September 13th. The finalists will be included in an exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery from March 23, 2013 through February 23, 2014, and the winner will receive an award of $25,000. The public will also have the opportunity to vote from amongst the finalists for the People's Choice Award.

My deepest thanks to the jury for recognizing this portrait and to Cathy for sharing part of herself with me on Market Street in April 2011. A special thanks also to my friend, artist June Glasson, for encouraging me to apply to the competition.
