Twin Shutterbug Studios: IPC results

wow, I have soooo much to post about, lol! I know I'm slackin' again...oops :) Really, I probably should just give up on posting anything regularly...

As expected we are deep in the middle of wedding season right now. I'm going to post a few blogs on those when I can but I wanted to share something first.

Last month PPA held it's annual International Photographic Competition. This is only my second year entering so I was nervous. I'm thrilled to say that "Angel Eyes" was accepted into the Loan Collection! Also, "Paradox in Pride" and "Corroded Fallen Promises" both were accepted into the General Collection. This is really an honor and I'm speechless, which isn't an easy thing to do.

Here is the press release the PPA provides and we sent to The Times Herald:

Local Photographer’s Work Goes to International Exhibition

A photograph created by Amy Feick of Twin Shutterbug Studios in Port Huron has recently been accepted into the Loan Collection of Professional Photographers of America's 2011 International Photographic Competition, and two additional photographs were accepted into the General Collection. Feick's work will be on display at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, January 15-17, 2012, in New Orleans, La. This exhibition is held in conjunction with Imaging USA, an annual convention of professional photographers and several photographic associations.

A panel of eminent jurors from across the United States selected the top photographs from more than 4,000 total submitted entries at Gwinnett Technical College in Georgia. Judged against a standard of excellence, over 1,500 images were selected for the General Collection and just over 600 (15 percent) were selected for the esteemed Loan Collection—the best of the best. The Loan Collection images will all be published in the much-anticipated “Loan Collection” book, and over 200 selected General Collection images will be published in the “Showcase” book by

Marathon Press.

Titled “Angel Eyes”, Parodox In Pride” and “Corroding Fallen Promises” Feick's entries will be in New Orleans at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center alongside other photographic works from PPA’s photographic competition and traveling and special invitational displays. These images constitute one of the world’s largest annual exhibits of professional photography

gathered simultaneously under one roof.
