Western Illinois University's Visual Production Center (VPC) photographers earned an honorable mention and second place awards at the recent University Photographers Association of America annual convention held last week in Alabama. Nearly 250 photographers submitted work in seven categories.
VPC Photographic Library Manager Larry Dean and Photographer II Lindy Baker received an honorable mention for their photography that appeared in the 2007 WIU Viewbook. The pair shot the various photographs that appeared throughout the 24-page prospective student guide.
Dean captured second place in the Publications category for his photographs that were used on a poster created by Associate Art Professor Vince Palacios; Dean also earned an honorable mention in the Personal Vision category for a photograph of a praying mantis.
Baker placed second in the Nikon Photo Shoot-out competition for his photograph that reflected the competition's theme, "The Pause That Refreshes."
"Larry, Lindy, Digital Imaging Specialist Brian Kreps and Student Photographer Neil Wiarda bring a vast array of experience, creativity and skill to the Visual Production Center.
The awards are a testament to the quality work that is produced on a daily basis," said Darcie Shinberger, director of University Relations.
"Through their work, VPC photographers capture the vitality of our campus and illustrate the University's core values through the images they take."
