Some good news news for me today. I was a category winner in the prestigious 6th Pollux Award – CULTURE AND DAILY LIFE with two of my new images from Ethiopia. SECOND PRIZE: “Suri Woman of the Omo Valley”, “Hamar Family in the Omo Valley” and I will be invited to Spain to exhibit at the 3rd International Biennial of Documentary and Fine Art Photography to be held in Malaga Spain at the Municipal Museum, opening on September 18th, 2014.
I was amazed by what I saw In the Omo Valley- the mixture of customs – beautiful and brutal in equal measure and am so happy to have the work recognized.

Humanity Photo Awards 2013

I was  intrigued  to find a photography competition dedicated to  the recording of  vanishing tribal cultures and thrilled to win with two bodies of work. For the Nomination award my work Tibetans in Kham was chosen and the Naga and Nishi work won a Performance award.

The Humanity Photo Awards is a biennial photography contest supported by UNESCO and the China Folklore Photographic Association and sponsored by the World Folklore Photography Association.  The CFPA is the only photographic association in the world who enjoys full operational relations with UNESCO.It’s goals are to explore and rescue the endangered folk cultures of world nationalities and to enhance mutual understanding to promote the world peace.

Humanity Photo Awards (HPA) is an international competition, aiming to call upon photographers all over the world to widely and deeply record and preserve the heritage of the folk culture. HPA finds a way for photography to ally with folklore, anthropology and sociology and its photo series provide the most systemic specimens and trustworthy evidence for cultural heritage, which is far beyond artistic value.

 The premiere exhibition “Memories of Mankind” will be held in December in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province.

Opening Night at Keyes Art:Terri Gold

“There is a great moment, when you see, however distant, the goal of your wandering.
The thing, which has been living in your imagination suddenly, becomes a part of the tangible world.”
Freya Stark

Usually  this wonderful quote reminds me of my travels but it also  applies to the feeling of finally showing the  work.

Completing the circle.

It’s a long way from New York to China and back. It all  begins with the planning and research, then the journey itself and then the long process of editing and creating a body of work. I remember the moment when each image was taken.

It is wonderful to see it in the Gallery at last.

I want to especially thank Julie Keyes and her staff  and everyone who came and shared the evening !

First the set up…

Then its opening night

Then the Dinner Party
