Wright Photograph Award winners
BUFFALO GROVE, Ill., May 30 -- The Construction Writers
Association (CWA) announced the winners of its Journalism and Photography
Awards at its Annual Meeting May 3rd in Washington, D.C.
Wright Photograph Award winners
The Gordon B. Wright Photography awards were designed to honor
photography of construction related subjects that add to the elements of
the story as either a feature photograph or as a series.
The Winner for Feature Photography is "Twists and Turns" by Michael
Goodman. This cover for ENR showcased steelworkers constructing one of the
venues for the Beijing Olympics. Jurors found the graphically strong image
compelling and a metaphor for the emergence of China as a world power while
suggesting the ongoing oppression of the common worker.
