Grand Prize Winner: Abdul Aziz
Photo: "Big Queen" of the Cheyenne Hunters on St. Josephs Night 2010
Theme: JOY DANCE
http://www.thephotoaziz.com
We were connected to this photo through Krista Colleague Pilar Ruiz, who served in New Orleans in 2007.
This photo is full of life and energy. The story of the Mardi Gras Indians is fascinating, and captures the essence of our theme, Joy Dance. Val and Kayla articulate this story in the editors' note.
We hope the Big Queen's joy dance image will resonate with you, and everyone else who touches the journal, about the powerful struggle of defiantly sustaining joy in the midst of hardship.
Again, a HUGE thank you to all who submitted photos. We look forward to sharing more of the journal with you in the coming weeks!
