And the Winners Are…

This is the Grand Prize Winner– 4 Boxes by Jeffery Byrnes

HCC alumni Jeffery Byrnes’s multi-frame picture captures my attention because it bridges the divide between traditional photography (in his case a plastic lens film camera) and the digital world (the combining of frames in Photoshop) without overly manipulating the finished picture. UPDATE: I misread this image. It is a total film capture as is. Wonderful work Jeff.

Jeff’s business partner, and also an HCC alumni, Tim Lastoowski takes the First Place Prize in Black and White for his purist, modernist rendering of form and function below:

I don’t know what’s going on in Mary Anne’s picture, but I like what I see.

The Special Jury Prize goes to John Balthunis for his magical, clear-eyed capture of objects in the world.
