Fenway Photo Project




The Museum of Fine Arts and Fenway Photo Project announced the winners of their creative contest today.  Participants were asked to submit original photographs to commemorate Fenway Park’s centennial celebration.  Congratulations to the six winners, whose work is now on display at the Museum of Fine Arts through October 3, 2012.  My personal favorites are Barbara J. Ross’s 1976 action shot of Carleton Fisk making the tag and Bart Blumberg’s 2009 image Ted’s Red Seat.  I especially love the cone-shaped head gear that the base runner at second is sporting in Ross’s photo, and the way that Blumberg expresses his enthusiasm to help tell the Red Sox tale at Fenway for future generations!

As a silly side note, I have included a painting I made for my brother in 2007.  This Christmas gift was quite the commodity in the Jenkins household for about six months.  My younger brother was caught attempting to steal the Sox painting on several occasions, yet his efforts suddenly ceased when Manny left to play for the Dogers the following summer.  Due to Ramirez’s recent retirement, I am willing to wager that my older brother has since invested in a state-of-the-art security system to prevent art thieving siblings from entering his home.
