Hello,
Welcome to the Texas Through Her Lens invitation to participate in the Williamson Museum exhibition. For those of you unfamiliar with TTHL, it is an Instagram page that I curate to promote and support Texas women photographers.
TTHL is a very small page if you count “follows” and “likes” — but it is a community of women who are passionate about sharing their views of Texas through their love of photography. TTHL’s purpose is to introduce you to new photographers, connect you to the ones you are following, encourage you to learn more about photography, and to inspire you to explore other parts of Texas.
As the curator of the page, I hope that each of you finds inspiration, creativity, and many opportunities to make beautiful images in the New Year. @TexasThroughHerLens has been a joy to curate and I love sharing all of YOUR Texas stories. Every photo represents a moment preserved and important to you. By sharing how you view your corner of the State, you are introducing a stranger to take a peek into what you love, where you call home, and the places you visit in this diverse and beautiful state.
This year, I hope that you dream big and dare to take your photography to a new level. As a kickoff to challenge your photography, you are invited to be a part of a bigger idea that I have been working on.
In April, I will curate an exhibition for the Williamson Museum (@williamsonmuseum) in Georgetown, Texas. The “Texas Through Her Lens” exhibit will include 20 prints from 20 photographers that will be displayed in the Williamson Museum in Georgetown, Texas. The Museum will host a reception to honor the exhibiting photographers on April 7th (6:30 pm - 7:30 pm). The exhibit will be open to the public through the end of April.
To be considered, use the #TTHL2023, include the location AND an image title before February 15. Photos taken in the last three years will be considered but must be posted to your feed after January 6, 2023. Selections will be made by February 28.
Do NOT “tag” using the @texasthroughherlens. Only images including the #TTHL2023 will be eligible and you may submit as many as you like. This invitation is open to any female (or person identifying as a female) photographer. The submitted image(s) must be taken in Texas. The exhibit will include a variety of subjects (macros, landscape, nature, astro, street, etc.) that represent how you see Texas. This is NOT a contest but a curated collection. No fees are associated with this event EXCEPT for printing/shipping costs which are explained in the fine print below and further detailed at lindanickell.com.
Not on Instagram? You can submit your image to info@lindanickell.com for consideration.
