DEPTH OF FIELD<br />

A UPAA Feature<br />

by Nick Romanenko <strong>of</strong> Rutgers <strong>University</strong><br />

‘Mark Philbrick’s Prints Arrived.<br />

We can all go home now.’<br />

The evening air had cooled things down to a manageable 80 degrees or<br />

so. UPAA's hospitality room at Houston's Palm Court Inn was in full swing. As<br />

the Palm is located across the street from the legendary AstroDome, having<br />

an entire motel room dedicated to large vats <strong>of</strong> ice holding malt beverages<br />

wasn't out <strong>of</strong> the ordinary for management. A crowd <strong>of</strong> photographers from<br />

across the country spilled out onto the courtyard, around the pool and into the<br />

hot tub. Vast quantities <strong>of</strong> microbrew beer were being consumed. Blending<br />

into this partying group, conspicuous only by the non-caffeinated s<strong>of</strong>t drink in<br />

his hand, is this year's Print Competition Photographer <strong>of</strong> the Year, Mark<br />

Philbrick. And the legend grows, for this would be Mark's sixth POY honor.<br />
