The lawyer Joy Diaz, left, lets her hair hang loose and fills the room with a long loud shriek as she wins 2nd Place in the Portrait Category. Khristen Carol Ang at right is stunned not only for winning First Place but more because of the shrillest notes from Atty Joy’s tonsils; it was the loudest scream ever heard in the FPPF Art Chamber. Just another riotous and happy day at the FPPF workshops.
