From rowdy nuns to tranquil kegs, this year’s Voice Photo Contest proves that there’s nothing more unpredictable than a Hoya with a camera.
First Place: A swarm of rodent-like pigeons overtakes the frame in an otherwise-benign shot of the Iglesia Guadalupe Hidalgo. It represents the oncoming scourge of avian flu likely to kill us all.
First Place: Chris Svetlik SFS 10. “Bird Flu” November 2006: Quito, Ecuador
Second Place: I chose this image for its broad tonal range and balanced composition. A subject that is overlooked during the day can take on a life of its own at night.
Second Place: Charlie Nutting COL 08. “Untitled” Autumn 2006: Georgetown, D.C.
Third Place: All of the sudden I looked over and saw this real surreal graveyard scene, something out of Easy Rider.
Third Place: Sean Croft SFS 09. “Nawlins Gothic” February 2007: New Orleans, Louisiana
Honorable Mention: Some friends and I found these ants swarming on a fallen leaf, and it made for a pretty cool color combination. Good resolution and close proximity gives the picture its texture.
Honorable Mention: Chris Corona NHS 07. “Family Affair” September 2006: Magnetic Island, Australia
First Place: Taken with a 35mm camera, this picture captures the Georgetown Rugby team at the D.C. Cherry Blossom Rugby Tornament.
First Place: Endy Mageto COL 07. “Nice Socks” April 2007: Washington, D.C.
Second Place: My friend Matt says to me, “Dude! Look at those nuns!� I chased after them, snapping pictures, and caught this snowball fight scene. I never knew nuns could be so rowdy!
Second Place: Doug Honegan COL 08. “Snowball Fight” January 2007: Georgetown Univeristy
Third Place: I really like the old man, dressed up like an old-fashioned singer, with his hat tipped to the side, microphone in hand.
Third Place: Doug Honegan COL 08. “Buenos Aires” March 2007: Buenos Aires, Argentina
Honorable Mention: Walking the streets of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, my eyes were overwhelmed with movement and color. I captured this image of Tiffany Chan (COL 06) entangled in one of the side-street murals.
Honorable Mention: Molly Dwyer COL 09. “Concrete and Clay” October 2006: Brooklyn, New York
