How Erin Sees It

CES eighth grader Erin H.'s photo "Exit" has been selected by Frank Goodyear (Assistant Curator of Photography at the National Portrait Gallery) for inclusion in VisArts' upcoming exhibition "How You See It." Ninety-eight students from Maryland and DC submitted more than 160 photos, and Erin's was one of only 20 that were chosen. Nice work, Erin!

"How You See It" is a juried exhibition of photography, including work by high-school and middle-school students in or around Washington.

Selected works will be printed and hung in the VisArts Portfolio Gallery from March 10 to May 23, 2009.
