2003 Photography Contest Winners

Time flies when we’re publishing a fun magazine, and unbelievably, it’s time to present the winners of the second annual photo contest.

Again, we received many quality images to choose from, and the judging process was no easy task. We are constantly amazed at the various Finger Lakes scenes as viewed through a photographer’s eye. Even familiar landmarks seem different when various photographers have a chance to capture them on film.

Although many photographers entered numerous fine photographs, we only considered their highest rated work for prize consideration. Without further delay, we’d like to present the winners.
