Winning Photos
Best Body of Work: Kevin Chan
Letchworth
Three Sisters Island, Niagara Falls
1st Prize: Brian Tichy
Artist Statement: "Last November when Alden was hit with several feet of snow, the village and town came to a halt. As a volunteer firefighter I spent several days with my fellow members braving the snow and helping the residents in need. This photo was a memorable one captured the first day of the storm. The roads were eerily empty as no vehicles could travel on them. We walked the village of Alden and answered alarms as they came in. After all was done, the Alden fire company responded to 110 calls in fours days, most of them by foot."
2nd Prize: Iesha DeLesline
3rd Prize: Christie Carlson
Artist Statement: “I work on a horse farm and this particular morning was very foggy. When I was walking by I thought to myself that would be an awesome photo to capture, so I ran back got my camera and just snapped away!”
Honorable Mention: Shellie Moorhead
Artist Statement: "I took this picture during my tour of Eastern State Penitentiary during the summer of 2013."
