"Keeler Pool, Keeler, California"
Second Place: Award of Distinction
Fine Art
This old pool sits on what was the banks of Owens lake on the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada's in Keeler, California. The thirst for water in Los Angeles drained the lake. Now the pool has been drained of its water, for some time now.

"Crossing the Delaware"
Third Place: Award of Merit
Advertising
This photograph was created as part of an advertising campaign for Gilbert Hospital in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. Drew Markel, the hospital's marketing director assigned the project to create photographic interpretations of historical and iconic images to promote the hospital's mission. Having carefully studied the famous 1851 painting by Emanuel Leutze, we composed the image using hospital staff as models. Posing as George Washington is Dr. Timothy Johns, founder and Chief Medical Officer for Gilbert Hospital. Holding the flag is David Wanger, Gilbert Hospital's CEO. The others in the boat are various hospital staff members. To retain a small hint of modernity, we used a bass boat, which, except for shortening, was left un-retouched. For authenticity, I created a lighting scheme that closely describes the original work> Continuing with several hours of digital post-production, I created this final image that was used in the advertisement.

"Darfur Struggle"
Student Winner
News/Feature Reporting:
A young Sudanese refugee from Darfur struggles to keep his footing during a dust storm in Abeche, Chad. Since 2003, more than 250,000 people have fled the ongoing conflict in Sudan to the desolate regions of eastern Chad. While they may have escaped the violence in Darfur, they find themselves competing with the local population for water and other essential resources necessary for their survival. Consistently ranked as one of the top ten poorest countries in the world, Chad faces its own challenges and has few resources to offer to the growing population of refugees.

2009 photos: Equipment this year: I mostly used the Fuji S100fs. I've also got a Nikon D90 and a newer Fuji -- the S200EHX -- both of which are nice but I still prefer the flexibility of the Fuji.
Trips this year:
Niagara Falls, NY,
New York City,
Civil War Trust conferences in Gettysburg, PA and Springfield, IL, and
my 4th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles, Yosemite, Death Valley, Kings Canyon, Joshua Tree, etc).
Ego strokes: I had a picture of a Lincoln-Obama cupcake sculpture published in Civil War Times and WUSA-9, the local CBS affiliate, ran a quick piece on me. A picture that I took at the annual Abraham Lincoln Symposium appeared in the National Archives' "Prologue" magazine. I became a volunteer with the Smithsonian American Art Museum.
Number of photos taken this year: 417,000.
