15-Year Reportage Wins WHNPA
Grant
|
|
January 21, 2004 - San Clemente, CA - ZUMA Press photojournalist VIVIAN RONAY has won the White House News Photographers' Association Project Grant for her photo essay on five Bedouin tribes living near the ancient trading city of Petra in Jordan's desert.
Petra was built on the crossroads of the ancient frankincense trade route from Oman to Damascus and the Silk Road that connected Asia to the Mediterranean port of Gaza. Until recently, when the Jordanian government decided to introduce Petra as a tourist destination, Bedouin tribes lived in the ancient caves carved into the sandstone cliffs nearly 2,000 years ago.
Ronay's images depict the customs, traditions and way of life of the Bedul tribes people, including their transition from a pastoral lifestyle to that of a market economy complete with cell phones, electricity and running water.
The Bedouin of Petra is on display through July 2004 at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, in conjunction with Petra: Lost City of Stone. She has arranged five subsequent exhibitions in museums across the United States and Canada.
Ronay is based in Washington, D.C. and is a credentialed photographer of the U.S. Senate and the White House. She is available for corporate and editorial assignments in the U.S. and abroad. For more information, please contact Trish Murphy at 949.494.7704.
