November 2006
2006
has been the 25th Anniversary year for WIPI. It all started in September 1981
when a small group of women came together to share their photographs and begin
to realize a career in photography was the direction and goal of their future.
Today, many of those women have continued and created programs as scholars, independents
and artists. We are happy that over the years, many of the women have returned
in various positions and many of their photo careers have expanded and they have
received incredible recognition for their work.
The Turning
Silver Slide Show is fine example of B/W and alternative images that are part
of the Kodak.com Classic photo book project. Also see the Exhibitor
list of both the Juror 100 and Honorable Mention. Our jury of fine professionals
chose a selection of incredible work. We are grateful for their contribution to
WIPI and Turing Silver.
Beauty, Camera Eye of the Beholder was uploaded in November
2005 carried us into 2006.
The San
Diego Museum of Photographic Art had a powerful exhibition through the summer
called, ..... Our Charter Member j. Madison Rink traveled to
San Diego and provided us with her experience on meeting one of our Distinguished
Photographer's Grace Robertson along with Stephanie Sinclair
and ....see featue story
We want
to thank our very special sponsors this year, Epson America, Kodak, Fresh
Lists and Cradock's FotoQuote for their contributions. Kodak
provided several of WIPI members with the incredible opportunity
to have an exhibit as well as extended opportunities for some in an article in
as well as photo showcases at Photokina.
As we close 2006 and our 25th Anniversary, we recognize that our
files are a wonderful archive of women's work from around the world. Researchers,
collectors, gallery owners, historians, photographers all visit our website and
cull information on the photographers listed and showcased. Many of WIPI's photographers
have enjoyed the extended opportunities that have been provided by their membership.
As
a non-profit organization who's goal is to promote the visibility of women working
in photography, during 2007 we will predominately focus on WIPI member
work, either work by their stories about their inspiration and ideas. We
will do a variety of online presentations, so stay tuned. stop back
to see us again shortly.
