Third Prize: Andy Lin
Six-day windjammer sailing cruise for two along the Maine coast.
"I am in awe of photography's ability to transform thought and emotion—the artist as modern-day alchemist," says New Yorker Andy Lin. A photo editor for Overspray street art magazine and drummer for the rock band Nozomi Phoenix, Lin also tends bar on Manhattan's Lower East Side. He took this photograph of a former bonded laborer who was painting at Vidhayak Sansad, an organization in Maharashtra, India, that has identified and released slaves for more than 20 years. "It was one of the most magical and inspirational places I have ever been," says Lin. "There are good fights being fought all around the world; our media doesn't always inform us of them, but there are victories." (Asahi Pentax 6x7, Pentax 45mm lens, Fujicolor NPZ 800 film.)
