Molly, Ofer, and the bar

Sometimes when I lose out on something—a contest, an award, a grant—I can’t figure out what I did wrong, I play hostess to a glorious pity party, and I throw chairs.

Often, however, the winner’s work is so obviously superior to mine that I know that, even if I were the only judge, I’d have given it to him, not me. That was my reaction upon learning that Ofer Wolberger won the Humble Arts Foundation’s Grant for Emerging Photographers. His project is beautiful, his photographs arresting. Congratulations, Ofer!

With Molly Landreth and Ofer Wolberger as Humble’s first two grant recipients, the bar has been set very high. Which will make clearing it all the better.
