Photo Contest Honorable Mention Photos

	Title: Generations Location: Trinidad, Cuba Submitted by Bud Shaw Category: Faculty/Staff Description: "I was trying to get a portrait of this young girl who kept staring at me. In my first shot, she is alone. I bracketed the exposure for the second but realized too late someone had walked into the frame. I shot a third frame in frustration. Of the three, this is my favorite. The title suggests what I think of when I see the photo."
Title: Gina and Friends Location: Managua, Nicaragua Submitted by Bradley Ellis Category: Student/Resident Description: "Gina Wilson-Ramírez was one of two UNMC students to go to Nicaragua for the first time to do a public health project. She is now a resident in New Mexico. She came with us on the March, 2001 trip and is seen here with three Nicaraguan boys, two of them still drying their teeth after a fluoride treatment."
	Title: Selian Hospital Pediatric Ward Location: Tanzania Submitted by Betsy Buschkemper Category: Faculty/Staff Description: "This child is recovering from malaria - the top reason for pediatric admission and a frequent cause of death in Tanzania. Although hospitalization costs less than two dollars a day, many impoverished parents must make a difficult choice between providing medical care for one sick child or food for the rest."
Title: Niña, Blue Dress Location: Managua, Nicaragua Submitted by Matthew Latacha Category: Student/Resident Description: "This photo was taken while vaccinating children in an impoverished area of Managua. Notice that amidst the squalor, the child is wearing what is most likely her finest dress, simply for some medical students to give her an injection. Notice also the rusty chairs along side the house. These chairs were always brought out to us when we entered the cardboard and wooden shacks people lived in. This hospitality to us was indeed moving."
	Title: Nyhaven Canal, Copenhagen Location: Copenhagen, Denmark Submitted by Catherine Todero Category: Faculty Staff Description: "The photo is Nyhaven canal at dusk. This is a gathering place for social activities with many bars and restaurants. The Flybaden ferry in the distance is coming into port. The canals, ferry and ships represent Copenhagen's connection to the sea and its history."
Title: Niña, Black & White Location: Managua, Nicaragua Submitted by Matthew Latacha Category: Student/Resident Description: "I took the photo of this beautiful little girl in one of the poorest areas of Managua. The house in which she stands in front of was one of the nicer dwellings, as it had cement walls and wooden pillars like the one she is leaning against. Notice the open sewer that runs in front of the house. This little girl struck me with her face almost void of any expression whatsoever. One look at her surroundings explains her apparent sadness."
	Title: The Great Wall Location: Near Beijing, China Submitted by Ronda Stevens Category: Faculty/Staff Description: "This is me and my family on The Great Wall of China near Beijing. A European with whom we communicated via gestures used our camera to take the photo. People from all over the world were sharing the experience of being in a place of legend, once closed off to the rest of the world. We were awed and euphoric! The Chinese people we encountered frequently wanted our daughter to pose with them for photos."
Title: (untitled) Location: Falmouth, Jamaica-Community Clinic Submitted by Christopher Valentine Category: Student/Resident Description: "This photo was taken in March, 1997 outside of the free clinic in Falmouth, Jamaica, where 19 med students, a nurse and 2 MDs and 2 DDSs spent spring break seeing dozens of patients a day. I believe this boy was brought in for a minor injury. What I liked about the photo was the expression on the man's face. I think that the boy laying in the med student's lap was more important than the definitive treatment."
	Title: Jamaican Encounter Location: Falmouth, Jamaica Submitted by Paul Paulman Category: Faculty/Staff Description: "UNMC medical student Meena Venugopal interacts with a patient at the Falmouth Clinic in Jamaica."
Title: If the Walls Could Talk Location: León, Nicaragua Submitted by Wendy Begg Category: Student/Resident Description: "A city taking a stand against the Somoza dictatorship, León and its people have taken a beating in the past. Seeing these bullet holes forced the reality of this situation into my mind. It shows the determination of a people, the desire to live freely. Was I willing to take a stand like this for something?"
	Title: Mountain of Joy Location: Estes Park, Colorado Submitted by Sinjan De Category: Student/Resident Description: "India has Himalayas on the north and Indian Ocean in the south. Going to the foothills, the joy of seeing a snowcapped mountain is overwhelming. I found the same excitement when we went to Estes Park. As my friends were busy filling gas in the car tank, I sneaked out and took this snap."
Title: Where There's a Will, There's a Way Location: Trujillo, Colon, Honduras Submitted by Jennifer Bracken Category: Student/Resident Description: "This is the classroom of my friend who is a volunteer teacher in Honduras. The one classroom structure is open air and class is held rain or shine. The school is part of a large community of five homes that raise about 50 orphans. Despite the lack of many supplies, the children are taught how to read and right and learn the value of an education."
	Title: River Giants Location: along the Spree River in Berlin, Germany Submitted by Beth Augustine Category: Student/Resident Description: "These figures really are as giant-sized as they look. They were put on the river by a large computer company nearby. They lie on the former-Eastern part of Berlin, near the Berlin Wall and represent the struggle for freedom between men."
