Project competition winners!

David Bram of Fraction Magazine has selected our top 3 students in the semester-long project competition, juried from our class website: miadfa382.com. The winners are:

1. Julia Kozerski, for her project Truth.
David's comments: Often, a self portrait can leave lots of questions for the viewer. But a self portrait of one's naked body, leaves no questions whatsoever. This work is amazingly brave, honest and beautiful and deserves lots of recognition.

2. Megan Ramminger, for her project, In My Eyes.
David's comments: I think this is a clever take on a technique/style that has been used often in photography. It's easy to see (no pun intended) that these photographs are your own and I look forward to seeing where you go with this.

3. Joshua Ballew, for his project, Up For Grabs.
David's comments: I'm always intrigued by what people toss away. These are smart little portraits of things that people paid for, owned and then just threw away. This is a tough topic that could be poorly executed.

Julia wins a liveBooks.edu website, and Megan and Joshua will receive Pina Zangaro portfolios from PZ DIRECT. In addition, we drew class member Olivia Obluck-Zager's name, who won a Shape Shifter backpack from Think Tank Photo. Thanks again to David Bram and these generous companies, who made our project competition additionally special!
