Grand Prize Title: crossing waves Name: Tung Khanh Le Country: Viet Nam Shooting situations This photo was taken in a fishing village in the Binh Thuan Province of Vietnam. The two fisherman were on a rescue mission amid strong waves, to save people who's boat was upturned. Feelings towards this work and how it interprets "At the heart of the image" I was extremely moved by the fisherman in the photo. They were determined and skilled in navigating through the strong waves on their rescue mission. Caught in the suspense of the moment, my heart was racing and I was inspired to capture it. To me, this moment embodies the theme of the contest, "At the heart of the image." Further comments I frequently photograph my children by maintaining their integrity. I do not direct them into posing. Children are noisy; they come at us in stereo. Photography helps me find the silence in them. An honest record of their childhood is a gift I am glad I can give them.
