Capturing Nature



One simple topic, dozens of interpretations.  Students participating in the SW/WC Service Cooperative’s annual photography competition were tasked to capture photos of nature with impressive results.  Thirty-six high school students from Canby, Dawson-Boyd, Marshall, Montevideo, Russell-Tyler-Ruthton, and Worthington shared their work at the competition on December 12.  Canby High School took home three of the top five place finishes with Alexis Bakalakos placing first, Shauna Vernlund placing second and Brady Carstens receiving Honorable Mention.  Rachael Blake from R-T-R placed third and Tristan Vorhees from Montevideo also received an Honorable Mention.

In addition to the competition, students attended a seminar with Nicole DeBoer where she taught them about different kinds of photography and had them take photos using the newly learned techniques.
