Amherst resident wins National Geographic contest
A photograph by Dena Bowman, one of 20 winners of the National Geographic "Visions of Paradise" competition.
This slipped by me when it was announced a few months ago, but it's still of definite interest. Last year, National Geographic held a nationwide photography contest as a sort of pseudo-promotion for its periodic "Visions of Paradise" photography book. And Dena Bowman, of Amherst, was one of the final 20 contest winners. The prize -- a free copy of the book with the winner's photograph on the cover -- isn't much, but the recognition is priceless. Check out the other winners here.
