2005 Photo Contest Winners
What a contest!
Texas Farm Bureau's annual photo contest was its best ever.
Not only were more pictures entered than any of our previous contests, but the quality was outstanding.
"We had a terrifically hard time
judging this year," said Editor Mike Barnett.
"As you can see from the examples on these pages, we had a bunch of
great photos."
Prize winning photos are featured on this page. Other photos, not winning a prize but of excellent quality, are on Page 23.
Taking first place in TFB's annual photography contest is a photo (above) submitted
by Melanie Grafe of New Ulm. The photo is of her son, Lucas, taken in a chicken house built
by his grandpa, Clyde Heinsohn, near Frelsburg.
This inspiring picture (right), taken
in the Melvin United Methodist Church, a very small
rural church in West Texas, won honorable mention and was
submitted by Mitzie Deike of San Angelo.
"Summertime: A farm-boy, a frog, a faucet and fun" is the
title of this honorable mention picture (above) submitted by
Richard Senf of his grandson, Landon Lamascus, in Junction.
Connie Thompson of Pollok was chosen as second place winner with this picture (above)
of cowboys on the Angelina River bottom, taken in late afternoon.
This photo, entitled "From Dusk to Dawn," (above) was taken during the record-breaking cotton harvest last year at the farm of the photographer, Betty Joe Wilde of San Angelo.
Morgan and Blake Vrazel anticipate their turn in the rodeo arena as they watch the big boys in this photo (above) submitted by their mother, Jennifer Vrazel of Danbury.
Karen and Jonathon Polasek of Aransas Pass took this photo of Annabelle (right), their "pet cow and lawn mower."
Connie Hoelscher of Round Rock found this spring a good time for wildflowers with this picture (above), taken on a country road outside Brenham.
