Thank you for your continuing support of the Nora School Photography Festival. Now in our tenth year, we are able to show works from more than 235 student photographers representing 23 schools. To see this thriving community of young artists is encouraging in an era when standardized testing is increasingly pushing the fine and performing arts out of many schools. The photographs you see tonight are testimony to the many ways in which we view the world around us... ways which have little to do with multiple choice, but have everything to do with communicating a unique and singular vision of the world. I hope you enjoy the exhibition and will come back in future years to appreciate the artistic sensibilities of our students as they continue to grow and flourish in these supportive schools.

Thanks to our judges...judging was by photo numbers only, with no visual references to name, grade, teachers, or school. Scott Robinson is a portrait photographer with a photojournalist’s eye, having made pictures of some of the best-known faces in the world. Stephen Spielberg and Sharon Stone have stepped before his camera, as have presidents Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton. His essay, Faces of Heroes, a collection of portraits of soldiers returning to the war in Iraq, was featured in a gallery show in the complex of the United States Capitol. His most recent book, Faces of NASCAR, brings Scott full circle back to his roots. A native of Owensboro, Kentucky, he grew up spending weekends on his grandparent’s farm and weekdays shooting hoops in his backyard. Ted Schroll has spent many years teaching photography and English, as well as serving as a school administrator. His photographic career spans thirty years, and includes personal fine art work as well as freelance assignments. His work is held in many private collections, and has been exhibited at Strathmore Hall, the Washington Theological Union, Brookside Gardens, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Silver Spring, the Savory Café, Holy Cross Hospital, and the Glenview Mansion Art Gallery.

Missy Loewe is the Director of the Washington School of Photography. Her corporate client list includes Greyhound, Miss America, the Sydney Natural History Museum, and Congressman Bill Thomas. She has also written and photographed for several books, most recently Remembering Georgetown: A Port City Lost, authored numerous magazine articles, and is the Board President of Capitol Arts Network.
