HILARY FISHER

Hillary Fisher was awarded the Matt Auer Memorial Scholarship for excellence in Photography in 2007,  She submitted two black and white photographs.  One was of an old bike covered in vines, leaning against a cracked wall, and the other, a silhouette of a female statue taken in a museum.

Hillary has always loved taking pictures.  But it wasn’t until her freshman year of high school, when she was given her Aunt’s old camera, that Hillary realized that photography could be more than just a fun hobby.  She takes black and white photos as well as color.  Hillary has a great passion for photography and loves taking pictures of nature, water and abstract items.

Hillary plans on attending Anne Arundel Community College in the fall of 2007,  She will focus on photography and other related subjects,  Hillary is undecided on where she will be transferring after 2 years at AACC, but she knows that whatever she does, it will include photography.
