Young photographer wins award for<br />
• By Daniel Alvey<br />
FOR ANGIE Early, one of her<br />
favourite things is to get out on<br />
the farm and take photos.<br />
That interest has earned the<br />
18-year-old Darfield High School<br />
student the People’s Choice<br />
Award in the IHC Capture the<br />
Moment Photo competition.<br />
Her photo ‘Dad’s Farm Toys,’<br />
was of a hay rake in the sun.<br />
Angie got into the 28 finalists<br />
and went on to win the award<br />
with 627 votes.<br />
This year the theme of the<br />
competition was ‘your Aotearoa,<br />
New Zealand’ and received<br />
entries from across the country.<br />
Mum Christine said it has<br />
been a very exciting time for<br />
Angie who is non-verbal due to<br />
her down syndrome and autism.<br />
Angie has been developing her<br />
photography as a new skill.<br />
“Angie likes going out on the<br />
farm and enjoys using her iPad<br />
to take lots of photos.<br />
“She likes going out on the<br />
tractor with her dad (Nelson)<br />
and on the harvester or the<br />
motorbike,” she said.<br />
Christine said it has been<br />
amazing to see the community<br />
get behind Angie and support<br />
her with votes.<br />
“It was so kind of everyone to<br />
vote for her.”<br />
As a result of winning the<br />
WINNER: Angie Early’s photo ‘Dad’s Farm Toys’ won the People’s Choice Award in IHC’s photo competition.<br />
award, Angie received $1500.<br />
Christine said the money will<br />
likely be used to take Angie on<br />
a cruise ship around the Pacific<br />
next year.<br />
“She’s never been in a plane,<br />
never been on a cruise. It will be<br />
amazing for her.”<br />
Angie’s photo, along with the<br />
other finalists, will be on display<br />
at the FOTO FEST Exhibition in<br />
Hastings from <strong>September</strong> 15-25.<br />
Her photo is also up for sale,<br />
along with the other winners,<br />
with all the money being<br />
returned to the photographers.<br />
