Thank you to all those who entered our 2016 Photo Contest!
Rianna Teeuwissen won the 13-18 Age Category. She is 16 and in grade 11. When asked what she enjoys about photography, she said it is “the chance to capture nature, or the personality of the subject. God’s design and nature are always perfect.” This photograph was taken in a field near her home in Fredericton, PE.
Ken Dowling won the 19 & Up Age Category. He and his wife moved to Wheatley River in 2012. Ken took the Holland College Photography Course and also worked as a darkroom technician for the Council of Maritime Premiers Mapping and Surveys Division.
