July 2009 News

Dear Friends,
I am writing this e-mail from a hotel in Allentown, PA. I plan on spending the next few days here photographing Dorney Park. Later this month, I will reconnect with my New Jersey roots and photograph amusement parks and boardwalks along the shore....
I am writing to share with you some recent exciting news: my work received two a Prix de la Photographie Paris (Px3) awards. I also want to share some recent press I've received and invite you to see my work in a few current and upcoming shows.
As always, I close my e-mail by listing links where you can find me elsewhere online, including on Facebook® and Twitter®.
Thanks for reading! I look forward to hearing from you.
Warm Regards,
Isa

Prix de la Photographie, Paris
My Thrills and Chills series was awarded first and second places in the 2009 Prix de la Photographie, Paris
(Px3) in the non-professional Advertising category. I had submitted my
work in the non-professional Fine Art and Book Proposal categories, but
somehow my entry was awarded in a different category. Because I am an
emerging artist, my work fell into the non-professional category according
to contest rules.
The competition received over 10,000 submissions from 48 countries. I
feel extremely honored and humbled to have my work recognized by the
Px3 panel of jurors.
My work will be included in the Px3 exhibit at Espace Dupon in Paris,
France from July 20-July 25. In addition, five images from the series
will be published in the Px3 2009 Book.

Recent Press
The Flat File
My work was featured recently on The Flat File blog for Wallspace Gallery in Seattle, WA. In the article,
Wallspace Gallery owner/director Crista Dix writes: "Isa's images of
the carny rides, coasters, tilt-awhirls, ferris wheels and swings are
loopy, windy breezes of memories. Shot with a Holga, the images are a
little soft and hazy, like the memories we all share from our
childhood."
