FROM THE ART DIRECTOR

Photo by Garry Beckham. I really love this lady.

14 great-grandchildren and the boxes of photos to prove it all!

I consider myself lucky, blessed and fortunate (that’s right, all three)
to have had her in my life for so long, including the fact that my children
have a relationship with her. And, that they, too, have their relationship with her captured
in photos.
Seeing my grandmother's collection of memories reminded me that photography is the
documentation of experience, mine and everyone else’s. If I ever lose my mind, I have my
wedding, the birth of my children, trips with my family, happy times and sad, easily within
reach to remind me where I have been.
I may never swim through the underwater cave systems in the Bahamas, track a lion
through the Kenyan savannah or explore the pyramids of Giza, but others have, and they
happily share their experience through their photography in print and online.
Growing up, I loved National Geographic, and I still do. I was excited to see the pictures
of treasures excavated on land and under the sea. I remember being enthralled with the
artifacts they found on the Titanic, so far below the surface of the North Atlantic Ocean.
How would anyone but the divers be able to visualize the beautifully-persevered evidence
of this tragic event, if not for photography?
It gives me great satisfaction to have Frisco STYLE continue this tradition as we present
to you the 13th annual Cover Photo Contest issue. This month’s magazine is chock-full of
fabulous pictorial adventures for you to enjoy.
Congratulations to the 2017 Cover Photo Contest winner, Nathaniel Hoppe. While our
staff tends to favor candid photos, this year, everyone agreed that his dancer reflected the
movement and grace of her art perfectly. So beautifully compelling, the photo was the
leader from the beginning of our meeting.
Also, for your viewing pleasure, the feature, on page 34, has additional photos from local
photographers, amateur and professional. Some are altered, some are not, but all are the
personal 1,000-word, visual statements of area shutterbugs offered up for you to “ooh”
and “aah.”
Last, but not least, Frisco STYLE’s own photographer, Melissa Southam, snaps photos in
and around Frisco like a crazy person in order to bring our stories to life each month and
does it splendidly.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Harper, a 13-year-old who lives in Frisco, is a middle school student about to enter eighth

bodies, especially when it comes to social media. “You cannot post a picture of your body
unless it looks good,” she says. “You have to create the illusion that you are skinnier than
you are, or that you have a thigh gap or perfectly toned legs. A normal teen does not have
those things, but that is the ideal look.” She admits social media puts pressure on her, but
she hesitates to give it up. Snapchat and Instagram are popular online social platforms that
have become an important part of her life. “It is annoying how you cannot be comfortable
with your own body because it is not good enough for social media standards,” she says.
For parents, it can be difficult to know where to start when seeking help or guidance on
this type of issue. Everyone wants what is best for their kids. If you feel like your child needs
help, do not hesitate to reach out and acquire the essential care they need to grow into
healthy young adults.

Drumroll Please …

Frisco STYLE Magazine is proud to present some of the most eye-catching, artsy and creative photos
submitted for our 2017 Cover Photo Contest.

Yet again, this year’s annual contest “wowed” the team at Frisco STYLE. Local photographers,
both professional and amateur, shared some of their favorite images, featuring everything from
iconic Frisco views and family outings to nature and community events. Choosing just one photo to
grace the cover was a difficult decision!

We would like to thank everyone who participated and shared their art. As you glance through
the following pages, you will undoubtedly see some of the places and faces that help make Frisco
great, but you can also look through photographers’ lenses at scenery from exciting vacations and
destinations from around the world.

This year, we had several local arts organizations and professionals choose their favorites from
the photos submitted, which you will see featured throughout the following pages. Thank you to
everyone who participated and offered their feedback!

Make sure you stop by the Heritage Museum, located at 6455 Page Street, during August to see
a display featuring the following photos.
