Auckland Festival of Photography
Another cool thing happened last night. I had submitted the photo below to the Auckland Festival of Photography website about a week ago and when I checked their page again today my photo had been selected as photo of the month! Not sure if I win anything (I may get some Gravity coffee or something like that) but it was cool to see it up there on the front page. Strange thing is noone contacted me to tell me about this.
Summer fun
Personally I really like this photo. Out of everything I’ve shot, this is the only one I’ve been tempted to print. If I can get over the shock of the cost (About $65 for an A3) I might just do that.
UPDATE: I just received their email newsletter and this was the blurb they gave my photograph.
“We loved the sublime, cinematic quality of this shot, with the tiny figure and the kite perfectly placed amongst the vivid green fields and blue colour and acutely placed hint of brown fence to the left hand side. The radiant blue sky with white pillow clouds is the main character of the scene; its apparent descent to meet the figure with the kite adds to the feeling of freedom and joy in this beautiful summer photo.”
