Famous Photographers School — a world-famous correspondence course — is long gone from Westport.
But the next generation of famous photographers might be right here in town.
Westport Library teen services librarian Jaina Lewis has announced the winners of a summer-long Teen Photography Contest. If the ages were not included, you’d never know they were not professionals.
They get no prizes — just 15 minutes of fame on “06880.”
Or maybe years of fame later, far beyond this blog. Here are some Westport photographers to watch out for:
Best Overall winner: “Compo Beach Tires” by Evan Klasky, 15.
Best Overall winner, “Untitled,” Maegan Sundlie, 15.
Most Artistic winner, “Rowing in Norfolk England,” Ethan Ellis, 13.
Most Artistic honorable mention, “Fenway Park,” Drew Tassel, 17.
Most Artistic honorable mention, “ADD,” Evan Angelastro, 17.
Funniest winner, “Banana,” Emily Howard, 15.
