Diversity

“This image captures all of the feelings I had about blending and confronting different cultures with my own in Hawaii. It represents the diversity and the many different colors of the world, but also together we complement each other.”

Painting the Sky
Amy Vanden Brink
Temecula, California
“I took this photo at the Holi Festival of Colors in Spanish Fork, Utah, right at the moment everyone threw colored chalk into the sky. Though it might not be in some exotic faraway location, it’s a testament to the wonderful cultural experiences people can have in their own land. I also think it is a great visual for colors of the world.”

Life on the Go
Jessica Trewartha
Provo, Utah
“I loved the contrast of this woman’s dress and mode of transportation. Wearing a business skirt on a vespa scooter shows the color of her personality. The bright yellow wall also makes the red scooter stand out.”
These photos never fail to capture my attention. I love the different photos the contest attracts, and the quality of the photos is always amazing, especially considering the fact that these are amateur photos.
