Award for “Red White and Blue-ing on the High Line”
I was surprised and delighted to receive a phone call this afternoon that my photo “Red White and Blue-ing on the High Line” would be receiving an award tonight at the opening for a show at Orleans Camera. I’d stopped submitting photos to shows a couple of years ago, only because my work schedule no longer allowed for sizing/sending/printing/matting/framing/delivering/picking up necessary to participate. But Orleans Camera made it so easy- all I had to do was email the image, and they’d do the rest. Perfect!
The theme for the show was Red/White/Blue, and the judge was Julia Coombs. I was so pleased that her comments showed that she saw and appreciated what I saw: how a collage of building facade images could resemble a flag, and that the colors were still red, white and blue, but not in the conventional sense. If you’re reading this, you saw the image when I sent it as my Fourth of July greeting. Here it is again, and also some images of the reception.
And there wasn’t even bad traffic…
Falmouth Fireworks from Quissett
Fireworks from the beach in Quissett were easy to get to and leave from, but too far to be dramatic. What was stirring, though, was the Boston Pops concert someone graciously blasted form their car to accompany our fireworks, and the people along the beach singing along to “God Bless America”. I did, too. Happy Fourth!
