Nathan's blue ribbon photo at 2010 MN State Fair Fine Art Exhibition

David Little (Curator & Head of the Dept. of Photography & New Media at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts), the Juror of Photography at the 2010 MN State Fair Fine Arts Exhibition awarded Nathan the blue ribbon for his picture, Fair & Fowl, of Louise & a brown leghorn rooster.
Mary Abbe (Fine Arts Reviewer at the Minneapolis Star Tribune) wrote "...The show opens with "Fair and Fowl," a prize-winning photo by Nathan Viste-Ross of Minneapolis, who captured a straw-hatted woman gazing dolefully at an amazing rooster. A truly magnificent creature, the caged bird appears to be at least 3 feet tall with sharp eyes, a flaming comb and wattles, golden feet and glorious russet wings tinged with blue and black. By chance the woman's blue shift and long reddish hair are the same hue as the bird's plumage, enhancing the sympathetic aura that seems to surround them...."

Thanks David. Thanks Mary.
