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.

The Work of Art Awards is one way for us to recognize their contributions to the community. “Pittsburgh has a thriving arts community that would not exist without the support of our area businesses,” says GPAC CEO Mitch Swain. “The Work of Art Awards celebrate that critical synergy between business and the arts. We are proud to honor the people behind the arts in Pittsburgh.” ..

..Awards were presented in six categories: Creative Collaboration, Arts Educator Award, Volunteer of the Year, Chairman’s Award, Mayor’s Award for Public Art and People’s Choice Award. ..

Wow! New ways of thinking & applauding the arts!

Color Photographer Saul Leiter

"Leiter’s color work was virtually unmatched during the 1940s and 1950s. His improvisational, spontaneous street approach found him floating from one beautiful, often somewhat abstract image to another. This seems a perfect match for the be-bop rhythm of the New York City of his time. "

Beautiful abstract images!
