The Photo Contest: Faces of Our Elders

This was an interesting theme in that nearly half of the entrants were from outside the U.S. I wonder if this might be due to the ageism so prevalent in U.S. society where youth is worshiped and the wisdom of age is devalued. There just didn't seem to be the interest from American readers in this contest that we have seen in others.

Another thing to note, we received a great number a baby pictures again! I am not sure if there was some misunderstanding, a misprint in a third-party publication announcing this contest, or if there were a large number of people trying to make some sort of metaphysical statement. Hmmm.

We chose Anita Garnett's image "Tommy R." as our winner. We liked the quality of the image as well as the how she portrayed the subject.

We chose Gustavo Castro's image, "Norah." as first runner up. The pose and the lighting made this image.

For second runner-up, we chose "Smile" , by Alexandru Averche. The pose and expression of this shepherd is priceless.
