Picture this

Local photographer selected for top 10 in state competition

For the third time in six years, Stephen E. Klemm of Picture this…Photography received word from the Associated Professional Photographers of Illinois that all four of his entries qualified him as one of Illinois Top Ten Photographers in 2000, during the annual print competition sponsored by the A.P.P.I. His prints received two blue ribbons, which signify par excellence in photography, and two white ribbons, which signify excellence. Two of the four prints entered were awarded a merit seal.  

[Klemm receives awards at the Associated Professional Photographers of Illinois convention]

 Under the rules, each member is permitted to submit no more than four photographs.  Over 400 photographs are submitted to the annual A.P.P.I. judging; however, the rigid standards allow only 30 to 35 percent to be displayed as deserving of a merit score.  Those receiving a merit score will be on display at the national convention in Las Vegas  July 31-Aug. 4.  Having a photograph accepted for display demonstrates a high level of photographic excellence. 

Along with the award of Top Ten Photographers, Klemm composed a photographic image through the use of the computer, which received a Gold Medal Award, Best Commercial Image and the very prestigious Fuji Masterpiece Award.  

[One of Klemm's award-winning photographs,
 "Me & My Shadow"]

 Klemm is serving his ninth term on the board of directors for the A.P.P.I.  This year he will be the president of the State of Illinois Professional Photographers.  

Klemm also received his master's degree in August 1998, making him Lincoln/Logan County's first and only photographer ever to hold a master's degree, craftsman degree and to be PPA-certified. At age 38, he is one of Illinois' youngest members to hold all three degrees.
