Citation

April 20, 2013 by A. Cemal Ekin
Citation for Orchis

On the opening day of Orchis, the mayor of Providence Angel Taveras issued citations to the collaborators on the Orchis project. Due to a spelling error, mine had to be redone and I have received it recently. I want to share it with my family, friends, and readers and thank Mayor Taveras for his kind gesture. I am honored to have received this citation.

I, ANGEL TAVERAS, Mayor of the City of Providence, do hereby confer upon you this citation in recognition of your renowned achievements as a photographer, your “Dance of the Orchids” series being the direct inspiration for Festival Ballet Providence’s commissioned ballet, Orchis. The residents of Providence join me in applauding your work and in wishing you further success on the momentous occasion of the Festival Ballet’s performance of the ballets Agon and Orchis at Veterans Memorial Auditorium

    Cemal, if I had my way you would receive a Presidential Citation!! The state should also recognize your talent – we need more people like you.

    Congrats!!! Just getting around to this. In my world, Saturday to Thursday is timely :-) That’s almost as important as a PSRI blue ribbon. I don’t see the part where the Mayor says he gave it a ’30’ :-)

      Thanks Jude. I think the mayor knew his limits of “judging” and wisely refrained from giving a score, like “347” ;-)
