Winning Photo: "Southern Dad"

Portrait of a Southern dad. This image displaying America’s Southern lifestyle, deep love of family and commitment epitomizes one of the few remaining vestiges of “Americana”.

 

Accompanying Photo:  "Country Store"

This store was a family owned, thriving corner market, boasting fresh produce and homemade jams and preserves. Now the store only stops the occasional passerby or photo hound to capture and appreciate its beautiful texture and light and dark references.
