Auto Show Photo Winners!

Hello Pittsburgh Designers!

We had a very well attended event in May at the Pittsburgh International Auto Show. It seems that the idea of a participatory event was very attractive to our members, and we will be sure to note that! Over 20 people attended the event, which is nearly 1/5th of our membership. Everybody seemed to have a great time attempting to collect 10 photo subjects in the time allotted. By the following Monday, we had 7 different complete submission sets.

As promised, the photo collections of all submissions will be hosted online. You can go to our brand new Flikr account, and check out these really creative shots. I am always blown away with the creativity that comes from a band of designers cut loose!

That’s not all- we have three winners from our photo collections. Best overall photo is given to Solomon Benjamin for this fantastic shot. Best Collection is being awarded to our very own Matt Sass. And finally, our Honorable Mention goes to Paul Borerro for his photo collection and single best shot. Congratulations everyone! And thanks to everyone for participating.

A very special thanks to our judges: Vanessa Sica, designer with Body Media, Josh Greenberg, our Vice Chair and designer with Respironics, and Matt Beale, partner at Daedalus Excel.

Thanks again to our participants. Have fun examining everyone’s photos online, and feel free to leave comments (keep it positive!).

One last thing- we will be maintaining the Flikr Account to allow us to submit all of our photos from events over the last few years, so check back soon for further uploads and collections. Our website will also get a permanent link, just in case you don’t bookmark it.

Happy Warm Weather to you all!

Regards,
