2006 Banff Mountain Photography Competition
Special Mention
Robin Loznak: Death in the Mountains
“I created this photo while attending a photography workshop in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, in the spring of 2005. During the workshop, I shot a mini photo essay on roadkill in Grand Teton National Park. I made some interesting images of dead birds, discarded clothing and even a banana peel on the scenic roadways of the park.”
