Winner: “Idiosyncrasies” by Barbara Konecny (BA 2008 Trinity,
MA 2011), Toronto
In March, Konecny travelled to Havana, Cuba. She was exploring the old
town when she saw this graffiti, which to her captured something essential
about Cubans – the ability to smile, despite a cloud of adversity. She says
it was sheer luck that a young boy walked into the frame – and tossed a
ball – just as she pointed her camera.

Winner: Untitled, by Stephen Sloan (BA 1977 UTM), Fredericton,
New Brunswick
While driving to Florida in March 2010, Sloan and his wife stopped at
Wormsloe Historic Site in Georgia. Inside the park, an avenue framed
by old magnolia trees caught Sloan’s eye, and “just begged to be
photographed.” He took the picture in colour but later converted it
to black and white.
