Pony Bride by aspiring Hot Shot Debra Tomaszewski

Debra Tomaszewski’s interest in photography grew out of a degree in art education and the weekly task of running a middle school photography club. Inspired by the “metaphors and life lessons” of youth, she began photographing children and has been doing so ever since.

In “Growing Up Girl�, I examine universal themes of childhood as viewed through the female lens. These photographs are poetic metaphors for everyday moments. This series captures the confusing emotions and developing sexual/social identities of girls as they come of age and glimpse into their inner lives.

A well traversed subject, she walks it well. Her series is complete with 33 images many of which are worth a look.

Use the weekend wisely. Enter.
