CPoY59

today, bOING-bOING pointed out the 59th winner of the College Photographer of the Year. it was a remarkable shoot, no doubt.

i was more impressed with the subject matter of the Honorable Mention work by mike kane (u-tx), which deals with anti-immigration militia patrols.

i can't judge the artistic merits of one entry against another when it comes to this level of talent. i do think perhaps the winner of CPoY59, elyse butler (brooks school of photography), is, in fact, a better artist. her work is amazing.

but the content of kane's work is just remarkable, just truly incredible.

kudos also to uwe h. martin (u-hanover), another honourable mention, whose photos include a lovely first section on life in bangladesh and a fairly brave second section on sex reassignment.

thanks, bOING-bOING!
