Eastern State Penitentiary Photo Contest

Those of you who went to Steve Traudt's wonderful HDR course at NECCC he talked about the trip that he and Barbara took to the Eastern State Penitentiary. Barbara's winning photo of Al Capone's cell was taken there. I have been trying to convince Brabara and Hazel to lead a CAP trip down there this coming Spring so that we can have fun with a terrific HDR photo op.

Here is the Eastern State Penitentiary Members' Photo Contest



The 2009 Members' Photo Contest took place on Saturday, October 3. Members of Eastern State Penitentiary were invited to submit one photo for each of the two judging categories: best color photo as well as best black and white photo. Serving as judge was Tom Berault, Professor of Art at Prince George's Community College. Congratulations to Trish Leeb for placing first in the color category and Adam Cohen for placing first in the black and white category. The winning photos are at left. This year, Eastern State added awards for second place, third place, and honorable mentions. Congratulations to Adam Cohen (2nd place, B&W), Laura Shindollar (3rd place, B&W), Nathan Horton (2nd place, Color), William Allman (3rd place, Color) and Brian Betteridge (Honorable Mention, Color).
