Over the weekend the Society of American Travel Writers announced the 2009 Lowell Thomas Awards for the best writing and photography from the past year. I was pleased to discover one of my colleagues had entered photos from a piece I wrote about Palmquist Farm in north-central Wisconsin. I won a bronze in the newspaper photography category. The contest was judged by the faculty at the University of North Carolina journalism school, here are the comments:
Bronze: Chris Welsch, “Down on the Farm,” Star Tribune,
This magnificent lead photo of the blurred skier subtly but effectively makes me linger on the page and the image. Bravo to the art director, too. Mood and sense of scene are so memorable.
