Anne Berry, PORTRAITS Honorable Mention

(c) Anny Berry

Anne Berry, from Newnan, GA, who has been juried into Slow E in the past, has received an honorable mention for her photograph, Monkey in Greenhouse, in the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops' Portrait photography contest!

From the website:

The portrait. Environmental, studio, candid, or posed. Self or pet, color, black-and-white, alternative process or iPhone. No matter what the genre, there’s a power in a well-captured portrait, a sense of breath and life. A portrait can comfort us, unnerve us, cause us to smile, or move us to tears. Whatever the emotional response, portraits possess the capacity to connect us all through shared encounters.  PORTRAITS inspired 960 photographers (from 32 countries) to submit 3743 images that embraced portraiture. Jurors Aline Smithson, Amber Terranova, Andrew Smith, and Reid Callanan reviewed this body of inspiring interpretations and chose 50 award-winning photographs.

 Congratulations, Anne, on such a wonderful recognition from your peers!

Anderson (Andy) Scott is Whistling Dixie

 

Whistling Dixie



Anderson Scott, advisory board member for Slow, has recently published a new book, Whistling Dixie, a photographic documentary of "latter-day Confederates at a series of reenactments" throughout the Southeast.  From the publisher:

Scott captures these latter-day Confederates at a series of reenactments in the years leading up to the 2011 sesquicentennial of the Civil War. Always maintaining the perspective of a keen and sometimes ambivalent observer, Scott’s photographs convey the earnestness and enthusiasm of this subculture while exposing its idiosyncrasies and contradictions.

"Thank God", 2004 3rd Place Winner

Scott’s photographs span the southern countryside, documenting reenactments in Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Florida, and the Carolinas as well as living histories and Confederate Memorial Days. An essay by Scott, describing his experience at a reenactment of the Battle of Selma, and a cultural essay by J. Mills Thornton, professor emeritus University of Michigan, provide context for the photographs and the subculture of their subjects.

Andy has been juried into Slow Exposures several times, winning first, second, and third prizes in 2005, 2007, and 2004, respectively.
