In the fall of 2009, when I found myself MEDICALLY BALD, I immediately became REFLECTIVELY BALD, thinking of that increasing number of men in our midst who have chosen to embrace their Y chromosome anomaly to become RIGHTEOUSLY BALD, HEROICALLY BALD and NOBLY BALD. I longed to be AMAZINGLY BALD, REGALLY BALD, EXOTICALLY BALD… but settled for asking my friend Rajko Radovanovic (one of the BEAUTIFULLY BALD) to assist me in becoming DOCUMENTEDLY BALD. The result is TOTALLY BALD. – Thomasine Bartlett

Texas based photographer Nancy Newberry won third place in the 2009 PhotoNOLA Review Prize. Her series “Mum” documents a gift-giving ritual virtually unknown outside of Texas, the Homecoming Mum. Large and elaborate, these uniquely decorated silk flower corsages are exchanged before the homecoming game. In documenting this tradition filled with complex systems of encoded symbology and collective history, Newberry explores the chaotic nature of self-representation, while confronting her own teenage mythology.

Holly Hughes, Editor in Chief of Photo District News (PDN), said “The photographer’s rapport with her teenaged subjects shines through in each of these environmental portraits.”
