I was selected to be in the 2009 Austin People’s Gallery Exhibition at City Hall, organized by Austin’s Cultural Arts Division.  My work will be hanging at Austin City Hall for the duration of 2009.  300 applicants were selected out of more than 1,000.   They’ll be hanging the photograph that is on my homepage, “Three children skipping rocks,” which was taken outside of Santiago de Cuba, in the summer of 2002.

You can view the photo here.

    I remember seeing that picture on your website!!! How many did you take to get that harmony of action? …… and my congratulations to you!

    Hi Gilda,

    I think the whole series was 5 or so images, that one was by far the best. Maybe one day I’ll post them all so you can see the progression.

    Congratulations! I love the picture-admired it the first time I saw it. I can understand why it was chosen. Proud of you-you are very talented. Brenda

    Such a great photo and very worthy of being hung in City Hall. I hope to see you Friday at the opening!

    Awesome photo TC! I’ve always loved that one.
