Photos selected for State Library

Patonga resident Ms Dawne Fahey has been told that two of her photographs will be hung in the NSW State Library.

Ms Fahey said she received the call following the closure of her "That Special Place" exhibition on the Central Coast recently.

"I arrived home late Thursday evening to a phone call and email, advising me that two of my eight entries into the Moran Contemporary Photographic Prize where chosen as two of the 60 finalists for the exhibition which will be hung in NSW state library from March 12 for several months, then going on to a travelling exhibition," Ms Fahey said.

"I am over the moon.

"It means I have a 30--to-one chance of winning.

"But regardless, it is an honour and privilege to be selected, and I am very grateful for that occurring."

Ms Fahey said that the two entries chosen were also photographs that were displayed during the "That Special Place" exhibition.

The first was a framed piece entitled "Ryan Flies a Kite" and the second, an unframed piece, "Daily Excercise".
