Howard Grant of Oakland, California, a retired architect and proud father of two, submitted the grand prize winning photograph. Grant's description of his photograph submission captures the strength he found to overcome personal obstacles: "I felt boxed in by concepts such as 'terminal illness,' 'damaged goods,' 'poz/neg.' The bravery and compassion of friends liberated me to pursue new paths and passions. All I had to do was face a new direction and step out of the box." Grant will be honored at a special gala opening this evening.
During the months of May and June, the exhibit will be displayed in select cities including:
-- Washington, D.C.;
-- Miami Beach, Florida;
-- Venice Beach, California; and
-- San Francisco, California.
