\"Mauryah

Mauryah Burattini is the winner of this year's summer vacation photo contest. <\/p><\/div>\n

You showed us the world, some big moments in your lives and the everyday ones.<\/p>\n

And you did it all with flare – and a camera – before sending them our way for the Brock News What I Did on My Summer Vacation photo contest.<\/p>\n

We received 89 photo entries this year for judging by Bob Tymczyszyn, award-winning senior photographer at the St. Catharines Standard,<\/a> who was wowed by the variety and calibre of submissions.<\/p>\n

“First of all, I’d like to say how impressed I was with the quality of entries. There was a wide variety of scenes and most would make fantastic prints in a frame. Ultimately I had to narrow it down to three. I wished I could hand out the top ten,” Tymczyszyn wrote in an email. “After an initial cull down to 12, I made a slide show and sat back to see which had the most impact in a 2-3 second view.”<\/p>\n

Here are this year’s winners:<\/p>\n

First place goes to Mauryah Burattini, a fourth-year concurrent education student, who travelled to Namibia this summer with the Brock CHYS 4V98 Resiliency course. She shot this photo at the Etosha National Park, Namibia<\/a>, on a weekend safari trip.<\/p>\n

“It would just make a great large print on somebody’s wall,” Tymczyszyn said.<\/p>\n

Burattini has won two tickets to Evalyn Parry’s SPIN: The Theatrical Song Cycle starring The Bicycle<\/a> at the Centre for the Arts on Nov. 17.<\/p>\n

The second place photo was shot by Arthur Chen, Brock’s manager of International Student Services<\/a> and “just goes to show that you don’t have to go very far for a great photo,” Tymczyszyn said. “The shot of the maid of the mist may have been luck but it has great impact.”<\/p>\n

Chen snagged a $50 gift card from Brock’s food services.<\/p>\n
