Palo Alto Weekly Photo Contest WinnersShutterbugs This year's twelfth annual photo contest winners turn the ordinary into the extraordinary
From the planks of a pier that at sunset appear like keys
on a piano to the haunting image of mannequin's face in a Vienna
store window, the images captured by the shutterbugs honored
in this year's twelfth annual photo contest are intriguing reflections
of everyday life. Winners, few of which are professional photographers, make the art of photography
an integral part of their lives. They seek inspiration in architecture, people,
urban landscapes and nature - looking for the rare moment when, through the lens
of a camera, something terrific occurs. "The eye and the camera see different," one
winner noted. This year's four judges chose from 252 entries by 190 contestants. The winning photos will be exhibited at the Palo Alto Art Center, 1313 Newell Road at Embarcadero, from May 27 to June 11. The winners will receive prizes from local businesses. First-place winners will receive $250 in cash and $100 gift certificates from University Art Center. Second-place winners will receive $150 in cash and a $100 gift voucher from UCSC Extension Art + Design Department. Third-place winners get $100 in cash and a $100 gift certificate from PhotoTime. Youth winners will receive a $70 gift certificate from University Art Center for first place and $30 gift certificate for University Art Center for second place.
