AUGUST 2018 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: ALLY NOVGORODTSEVA

A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE WINNER OF VPW’S AUGUST 2018 “SHAPES” PHOTO WALK, ALLY NOVGORODTSEVA!

Dear Vienna Photo Walkers,

Greetings from Baltimore, Maryland!

My name is Rosalie and I’m very excited to have the opportunity to interview my dearest friend, former university roommate, leader of Vienna Photo Walk, and winner of this month’s photo challenge, Ally Novgorodtseva!

We’ve known each other for over thirteen years, have lived together for four, and have travelled together to Rome (where we experienced an earthquake), London (where we fell victim to an epic snowfall that paralyzed the British Army), Paris (which we don’t remember too well because of all the wine and cheese we devoured), New York – and never without our cameras.

Since we both literally never know what to do with our hands when we’re in front of the camera, I’m delighted to see Ally back where she and I both belong – behind it, snapping away with VPW!

So, without further ado, the Member Spotlight Interview for August 2018 with Ally:

DECEMBER 2016 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Veronica G. Acosta

A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE WINNER OF VPW’S “Autumn in the Augarten” PHOTO WALK, VERONICA G. ACOSTA!

Our congratulations go out to Venorica G. Acosta, who won VPW’s “Christmas in Hirschstetten” December Photo Walk competition by a landslide: first, second, and third place! As always, to celebrate this wonderful achievement, we ask the winner of our contest to give us an interview. It gives us all a chance to get to know them a little better, and perhaps learn a thing or two from them. Without further ado, I give you Veronica with her lovely, personal interview!

OCTOBER 2016 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: ADELA PASE

A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE WINNER OF VPW’S “Autumn in the Augarten” PHOTO WALK, ADELA PASE!

Our congratulations go out to the lovely Adela Pase, who won VPW’s “Autumn in the Augarten” October Photo Walk competition by a landslide. Not only did she win first place: the won second place as well, and that on her first-ever photo walk! We loved both pictures, and invite you to join us in congratulating Adela on her victory. As always, to celebrate this wonderful achievement, we ask the winner of our contest to give us an interview. It gives us all a chance to get to know them a little better, and perhaps learn a thing or two from them. Without further ado, I give you Adela Pase!

AUGUST 2016 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: NICO KAISER

A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE WINNER OF VPW’S “Vienna 1010 in Black & White” PHOTO WALK, NICO KAISER!

Our congratulations go out to Nico Kaiser, who won VPW’s “Vienna 1010 in Black & White” August Photo Walk competition, with a shot of a woman feeding a pigeon at the Vienna Volksgarten. As always, to celebrate this victory, we invite the winner of our contest to give us an interview. It gives us all a chance to get to know them a little better, and perhaps learn a thing or two from them.

July 2016 MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Ivan Gunis

A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE WINNER OF VPW’S JULY 2016 PRATER BY NIGHT PHOTO WALK, IVAN GUNIS!

Our sincere congratulations go out to Ivan Gunis, who came out the clear winner of our July 2016 photo contest, Ivan’s first VPW event. His romantic, beautifully backlit shot of a ride in the Prater can be seen here. Ivan’s actually the third newbie, in a row, to win a Vienna Photo Walk contest upon attending our excursion just once – great incentive to join our group, isn’t it! But it’s my particular pleasure to interview winning newcomers, because neither I nor the group know much about them, so these interviews are a great excuse to get nosy and learn a thing or two from and about them. Please welcome Ivan to our group, and enjoy his interview.
