Students’ photos illustrate the depth of the off-campus study experience
"When I was exploring a Beijing hutong (traditional neighborhood), I stumbled upon a group of migrant construction workers who were incredibly intrigued by my presence," wrote Colorado College student Anais Gude. "They were even more surprised to hear me speak Chinese. When I asked this boy if I could take a picture of him, he nodded silently, took a long drag from his cigarette and blew it towards the camera."
"Working on Manhood" by Anais Gude
The photo that Gude took – titled "Working on Manhood" and described as capturing "two culturally different people of the same age coming face to face and experiencing mutual curiosity" – has been awarded the Grand Prize in the 2009-10 ACM Off-Campus Study Photo Contest.
Along with the Grand Prize, awards were given for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place photos in the contest's three categories: People, Stories, and Artistry. An additional ten photos received Honorable Mention recognition. All of these photos will be in a traveling exhibit to be hosted by 11 ACM colleges in early 2010. Read more
