The Vernon Community Arts Center has announced the winners for its third annual Photography Show, despite the inclement weather twice delaying the opening ceremonies.
Joan Sonnunburg, director of the VCAC, demonstrated her appreciation for the photos sent in, describing the variety and talent among them.
South Windsor biologist Jeff Holcombe entered three pieces, including ‘Bumble Bee Study 2’, which won the First Place Clark Robertson Memorial Award. He used a dissecting microscope and polarized it, something new to his experience. The technique is used for scientific research, but also creates a colorful way of seeing biological objects differently.
Second place went to a photo of New York's Central Park in the spring, called ‘Park West’, by Robert Belniak. The trees are beginning to sprout leaves in the photo.
Vernon resident Henry Golembeski took home third place with ‘Box Mountain’, a photo he took six years ago. It is a zero image, meaning he used a pinhole camera. Golembeski described his use of zero imaging as the opposite of digital because what shows up on camera can be a mystery. He used to photograph for weddings, and has also worked as a journalist. Now, he aims his camera more towards "in the moment" shots.
Successful photographers may want to seek out a business card printing company to add their achievements to their cards.
