Iris Awards Finalist!
I’m feeling pretty nervous today! Tonight is the opening night of the PCP Iris Award Exhibition… and I’m in it!
Two weeks ago I received a phone call letting me know that I was a finalist for the Iris Award for Contemporary Portraiture. It’s run by the Perth Centre for Photography, a local organisation promoting photography and emerging talent. It’s a huge deal for me, because it’s judged by both professional photographers and artists with a strong grounding in contemporary photography and art history.
It doesn’t help that I’ve seen some of the other finalists (and rejected entries) and they were just awesome.
All I can say is, “I’m not worthy!” and, “They Like Me, They Really Like Me!!!”.
Barn Unfinished Breakfast : My entry for the Perth Centre for Photography Iris Award for Contemporary Portraiture... What a mouthful!
The secret of my success? Having really cute kids and taking way more photos than any human being should reasonably be allowed to.
Seriously, if there was a tax on megapixels the IRS and ATO would be hunting me down.

Way to go L. Melanie is probably wrong.. We can still get the Bathroom Contemplation but it will probably we a print and will cost a lot more…
Good luck….

Love The Photo. Last years’ winners were a bit depressing.
I like yours a lot. Its weird with the big table and 4 year old bigger than building. It brings up many questions…Is the house sinking? Is the cup permanently fused to the child’s face? Is that even a child? and don’t get me started on the spoon.
