Grand Prize - Dan Phill, Tacoma, WA

A black-and-white photograph taken at Yosemite National Park was a $500 honor award winner in last year's Kodak International Newspaper Snapshot Awards contest. Judges were impressed with "not only the wide range of tone, but the wide range of textures that beautifully complement each other" in the photo. The News Tribune summer snapshot contest is a little more than a week from being completed. Winners of weekly prizes, plus honorable mention certificate winners, will compete in a final local contest to be considered for entry in the international contest and will vie for cash and travel prizes in the amount of $55,000. Deadline for this week's contest is 9 a.m. Monday and the final week's deadline is at 9 a.m. August 11.

Balloon Ascension in South Tacoma - 50 years ago balloon ascension in South Tacoma were a Sunday afternoon attraction. In the picture shown above the balloon is about to take off with the balloonist and is being held by the spectators to get the last ounce of gas. The picture was taken between Warner and Birmingham Streets near 52nd. Pioneers in the district will remember the stunt was not too successful as the gas often burned up the balloon.
