The winner of the most coveted public recognition, the Px3 Photographer of
the Year, is professional photographer Alex Telfer from the United
Kingdom. Telfer is being recognized for the overall quality of his entries
in several categories, in particular his "Nikon" series.
The recipient of the Best New Talent Award is Todd Krainin from California
for his series titled, "Nepal 2006: Civil War in Shangri-La." Krainin
says, "Px3 is the first organization to recognize the work I did in
Asia.... After several months of running from tear gas and water cannons,
it's rewarding to know that someone out there besides myself thinks that
it was all worth it."
