Someone said, “The best camera you can have is that one you have with you”. That is certainly true of Mary Nichols. When she took her award wining photo, the only camera at hand was her cell phone. Mary has been a Forney resident since 1983, and this is her first State Fair Photography award.
Each year there are thousands of entries in the State Fair of Texas Photo Contest. Over several days those images are judged by professional photographers. The winning images are on display in the Creative Arts Building during the 24-day run of the State Fair.
This year there are four winners from Forney. We congratulate Mary Nichols for her Blue Ribbon win in Children’s Preschool Category. Mary started her photographic interest as a second grader with her Kodak Instamatic camera. Her interest continued through high school journalism and her later job in the Sears photography department. When you make your plans to visit the State Fair, make sure you schedule time to view Mary’s photo, along with all the other wonderful photos on display.
