Fab! 3 women in there! Thumbs up...up women photo folk like that!
Hurrah, Rockaway Park!
The sweet kindness of my friends and sister are credited for their support and seeing me through the good and bad. Of course, I would not have received this grant without the openness and grace of the people who I met over the years in the Rockaways.
Thank you Mr. Siskind for leaving behind your legacy of generosity, your love of NYC and you inspirational works.
This money will really help me during this difficult time. I am ready to finish this story but not without a sadness in my heart that still rests upon the NYC beach facing the Atlantic Ocean. The pubs like the now defunct Palm Gardens and the Kerry Hill are as indelible as all the people I met there over the years and those whom died there over the last six, seven years.
Now for the a bottle of orange soda!

Congratulations! I think your work is great, especially the Rockaway Park series.
Congratulations, Juliana! This is fantastic news.
Congratulations! I've been following you on the 50 States Project, and was glad to see the recognition extends to Siskin.
I work with an organization called First Person Arts, and we're looking for documentary photographers to help spread the word about our nationwide competition First Person America: In These Hard Times. We're a Philadelphia-based non-profit organization dedicated to memoir and documentary art in all forms, and this year our goal is to attract essays, photos and films from all 50 states documenting how individuals and communities are coping with economic challenges. You can find out more about the competition, prizes and judges at http://firstpersonamerica.org
Congratulations! Really deserved, hope it's only the first step to the Inge Morath or the Hasselblad!
Fantastic and well deserved! All the best!
I agree. Thank you Siskind. Juliana, it's great being associated with you in this award. I've followed your pictures for a while. Congrats!
