Al's Personal Favorites

Ardent Laura Grenier, Verona, N.Y. 600x450x24 The expression is perfect, a modern Mona Lisa with a hint of a wistful smile. The photographer is 13 years old.	Genesis Mary Shear, Baldwinsville, N.Y. 1641x576x24 The beginning of the world, indeed! This evokes the dawn of heat and light, and is sensitively photographed and processed.	Grandma and Me Fred Wall, Phoenix, N.Y. 481x478x24 A perfect example of a candid family photo. The viewer is pulled into the image in a delightful way.
Ireland 13 Kevin J. Domanico, Liverpool, N.Y. 640x480x24 A stunning example of how to take a photo that looks like a painting. The more I look, the more I love this picture.	Little Falls Factory Phil Hall, Clay, N.Y. 1024x768x24 There's something Greek or Roman about this image. It could have been taken (were such things possible!) 3,000 years ago.	Pastorello Falls Thomas Pastorello, Camillus, N.Y. 396x504x24 A scenic photo that proves that digital photography can be as alluring as film phototography. Note the intriguing use of color.
Peekaboo Mark Kotzin, Clay, N.Y. 441x587x24 This is my No. 1 personal favorite from all the photos. The shapes are interesting, the little girl seems lost in play, and the colors are bright and true.	Shannon Mary Shear, Baldwinsville, N.Y. 644x877x24 A haunting photo -- too haunting, perhaps. But you never get this picture out of your mind after seeing it.	The Wall Mary Shear, Baldwinsville, N.Y. 2048x1536x24 Clever, fascinating, unusual, stark and a little disturbing, in a wonderfully artistic way.
