We ROCK - International Competition Results!
Jessica Quintal and Anna Vickroy have recently been accepted into the Loan and General Collection of the 116th International Exhibition of Professional Photography. Their work will be on display at the Tampa Convention Center January 6-8, 2008 in Tampa, Fla. This exhibition is held in conjunction with Imaging USA, an annual convention of over 8,000 professional photographers and several photographic associations. Approximately 5,000 entries were submitted to Professional Photographers of America’s (PPA’s) International Print Competition, from which a panel of more than 40 eminent photographers from across the United States selected the images that would comprise the 2007 General and Loan Collections...the most prestigious awards. Jessica’s photograph titled Her Etheral Beauty was captured inside the main house at Ravenswood Historical Site. The subject is of local student and our own beautiful photography assitant Perri Gutteridge. 
Anna’s photograph titled Unwavering Faith was captured just south of Ravenswood Historical Site of subjects Perri Gutteridge and Cody Williams. Both photographers enjoy photographing the beauty and character of Livermore’s landscape and history. 
The Professional Photographers of America (PPA), an international nonprofit association, exists to assist its more than 18,000 members in achieving their professional, artistic and fraternal goals; to promote public awareness of the profession; and to advance the making of images in all of its disciplines as an art, a science, and a visual recorder of history. To celebrate their achievement, ultra-spective will be hosting a reception to display their works on Friday September 21st 4pm – 7pm. Be there!
