Students Win Photo Awards
“Tulmeadow Farm,” taken by Westminster 6th former Colin Campbell was a first place winner in the Simsbury land Trust Photo Contest. The evocative black and white, 8 x 10 print of the barn at the noted Simsbury landmark, was selected from among 75 entries in the Student Close-up Category.
Campbell, a student in the Photography class of Jane Toner, took the photo as part of a class assignment. He and Ms. Toner were honored for the achievement at the Annual Membership Dinner of the Simsbury Land Trust on April 11 at the Hop Meadow Country Club.
"As a Fourth Former in my Introductory Photography course, Colin showed much promise as a photographer and this year as a Sixth Former, he has continued his art through an independent study,” stated Ms. Toner. “He has developed his own unique style and has exceptional traditional black and white darkroom skills. I am very pleased that one of the three images Colin submitted won first prize in this prestigious local contest."
The Simsbury Land Trust works to protect scenic vistas, geological features, and farmlands that visually define Simsbury’s character and provide healthy habitats for local wildlife and plants. The photographs were required to be taken on Simsbury Land Trust properties and were judged by a committee.
Dance Photo Winner
Emily Verone ’06, who is also an Independent Study Photography student, was the recipient of the FIRST PLACE AWARD in the third annual Sanford L. Rosenberg Memorial Dance Photography Competition.
Her black & white photo titled “STRETCHING” shows a worn pair of ballet shoes, and was exhibited at Wesleyan University, along with other photo winners. The contest is sponsored by The Connecticut Valley Regional Ballet Company, Inc. and The Ethel Walker School. Emily was presented with a $100 prize.
"Emily has a great 'feel' for photography, her images are fresh, creative and insightful,” Ms. Toner noted. “I was especially impressed with her effort this year in her independent study. Her photography has also been showcased in our quarterly bulletin and annual report."
