In addition to the photos reproduced here, Kalman Zabarsky took home first prize in the environment category for his moody view of the outer lobby of the Tsai Performance Center. Vernon Doucette won third prize in the news and features category. His Commencement day shot of ducklings marching across Nickerson Field behind their mother ran in Bostonia magazine. Photo Services as a group also took home a first prize for the office's rate card, which displays examples of the staff's work. You can view all the winning photos at the UPAA's Web site: http://www.upaa.org/services/photo.html. Christopher Lydon, host of WBUR's phenomenally smart talk show The Connection, was the subject of a Bostonia profile and a portrait by Vernon Doucette. It won a third prize in people and portraits.   Fred Sway, director of Photo Services, received an honorable mention for this portrait of former BU Assistant Physics Professor Michael Crommie in his laboratory. The photo was shot for a Bostonia article. Kalman Zabarsky won three prizes for his work. The picture (left) of Zhiping Weng, a College of Engineering biomedical engineering instructor, was taken for an ENG publication and won third place in the science and research category. His study (right) of Michelle Efros (CAS'99), a student assistant at Special Collections, was used as the cover image for last year's BU telephone directory and was named best of show.
