Merit Prize: Jim Kane
Olympus Camedia C-770 digital camera and a copy of the National Geographic Photography Field Guide.
Jim Kane of Philadelphia, who started the travel company Culture Xplorers, has done some exploring of his own. He took this photograph during Semana Santa in Antigua, Guatemala. It was nearly dusk when Kane heard music from a children's procession and headed outside. "I came across these two boys trying to reignite the copal incense they were carrying in the procession. The purple robes, the gesture of holding the burner, the fact that they were lost for a moment in their own world in the middle of one of Latin America's largest religious celebrations, all combined to create a moment worth capturing." (Nikon D70 digital, Nikon kit 18-70mm zoom lens.)
