Karen took a bunch of pictures of the June 12th Flag Day fesitivities here in Huidson. She turned some into a movie.
For the uninitiated it is important to know that this parade and associated hoopla is the major public event of the year. Warren St. is filled end to end. The parade lasts for over two hours and the whole event is capped off with fireworks that run on and on a la Boston’s Fourth Fourth of July boondoggles.
Here is a link to Karen’s movie on the Davis Orton Gallery website.
Shortly Karen will be off on one of those big birds for China. She is an invited exhibitor in China 13th International Photographic Art Exhibition in Lishui. Here is a link to her on the show’s website. The only English-based information on the website is here.
Karen will be showing mostly color and some black and white photos from her “Close to Home” series
Lishui is a city of 2.5 million about 250 miles south south west of Shanghai.
Here is a link to the web page announcing the award. There is a statement by the Juror, Hannah Frieser, as well as web versions of all of the images in the McCann Family series.
Karen was awarded a $2500 fellowship as the 2009 recipient of the Center for Photography at Woodstock’s Photographer’s Fellowship.
The award was made as part of the CPW’s annual gala. Karen won this fellowship based on her submission of 10 color photographs from her McCann Family series. Executive Director of the CPW, Ariel Shanberg, read Karen’s artist statement and then projected the images for the audience of more than a hundred gathered for the Gala Auction.
Karen took these photos. What’s a guy to do when entertaining a grandchild via Skype?
Later…….. poor kid.
Here are a few shots from this event. Missed lots of people so it is really a smattering.
