Girl in Tutu, which was accepted to Lightbox Photographic’s Plastic Fantastic II juried show along with Beach, was awarded third place by juror Susan Burnstine.
Third place : Stacy Turner’s [sic] “Girl In Tutu” is a truly iconic toy camera image that is perfect in every way. The menacing composition, the complex, troubled expression on the child’s face and the overall depth and mood is uncompromisingly flawless in a creative practice that thrives on flaws to create perfection.
A nice bit of news to come home to last night.

Two of my images have been accepted into the Plastic Fantastic II show, Girl in Tutu and Beach. This coy, calm sentence belies the giddy, wantonly uncool glee wit which this fills me. I like to think my unhip delight is so very very square that it becomes cool.

If I were a good blogger I’d have a new post for every time I have an image displayed outside client homes but that never seems to quite happen so I’m doing a bulk “Wheee, look at meeeeeee” post.
Girl with Tutu was accepted into the West Hartford Artwalk (now done) and was the front page image on I Love Photography, a message board for children’s portrait photographers.
Girl with Parasol was accepted into the Kentucky Art Speaks Gallery Black and White show which starts on October 29th.
Three of my shots from the Haddam Neck Fair were accepted into the Upstream People’s Gallery Exhibit.
Last Day 2 was honored as a runner up in the Professional Women Photographers’ 35th Anniversary International and can be seen in their online display HERE as well as right here.

I love the West Hartford Public Library and so do my kids. The children’s preschool room is truly incredible with fabulous comfortable sofa benches, a train table, doll houses, a puppet theatre, a play kitchen and more along with books galore. My kids ask to go there regularly and along with the basic “free-ness” of the library they also validate parking for the closest parking garage which is great in the winter when, well, I’m not walking the 4 blocks to the library with two three-year-olds if I don’t have to. They getting there isn’t so bad, it’s the getting them back home, tired, overexcited and grumpy, that’s less than fun.
Given how much I love the library volunteering for Library Snapshot Week was a natural fit for me.
The primary purpose of this community-based project is to showcase the library through photographic images. During Library Snapshot Week selected photographers will take pictures of our library, the building, patrons, staff, etc. Of the photos taken, some will be chosen for display in the Noah Webster Library Gallery, on the library website, or used for library promotional purposes, but all for the benefit of the community.
Over 30 photographers participated coming in both one Sunday morning for what I called “still-life day” and then taking pictures through the libraries during one week. Over 1,000 pictures were donated to the library for them to use promoting their services, 20 of which were selected to be hung in a gallery show.
Two of mine are there, including this one:
The exhibit will be up until March 31st and I encourage you to drop in and take a look.
