It looks like an Oscar and it really felt like getting one:
My "Keep Going New York !!" project received one of these golden beauties during the Global Focus Project Award Ceremonies at the incredible Xposure Photo Festival in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.
Twelve photographers from 6 continents - two each - were awarded for their projects and contributions to the field of photography and their work was exhibited during the festival week Feb 28th - March 5th.
I feel very honored and humbled for being included in this amazing group:
Thandiwe Muriu (Africa), Gurcharan Roopra (Africa), Sirachai Arunrugstichai(Asia), Emily Garthwaite (Asia), Shane Hulbert (Australia Oceania), Charlotte Piho (Australia Oceania), Mario Heller(Europe), Chantal Pinzi (Europe), Stefan Falke (North America), Erin Trieb (North America), Johanna Alarcón (South America), Gabriel Chaim (South America).
A big 'Thank You' to the 2023 Global Focus Project committee, to the creative director of the festival, Simon Newton, his wonderful right hand Dalia Gutierrez and to Frank Meo who introduced my work to the festival committee !!
Congratulations to all my fabulous co-awardees !!! Thank you Frank Meo, Kira Pollack and Aiden Sullivan for presenting the awards and to the entire team of the Sharjah Xposure photo festival !!
I am also grateful for all my new friends I made at the festival, let's keep in touch !!
