At the 2009 PPANE convention, Susan White was presented with the
“George Hastings Memorial Award” in recognition of her years of
dedication to the craft of photography.
“It took me six years to get it!”, said Sue. “I printed all the images with my
Epson 2200 printer. I wanted to join the ranks of other photographers who
have won it in the past, who look at photography not only as their profession
but as their passion!”
The Hastings Awards is named after the very first President of Professional
Photographers of New England, and is designed to test all the skills a
photographer should have: proper composition, exposure, processing,
printing (including print controls), retouching, mounting and finishing. In
order to receive the award, the photographer submits prints for judging and
accumulates points within a certain time period. When they’ve reached the
required number of points, they are awarded a trophy.
