2005 Photo Contest
Worth a Thousand Words
Picture-perfect winners of the annual photography contest

A photo is a window on the world, a glimpse of what life is like from someone else’s point of view.

This year, the winning pictures take us to new places, introduce is us to new friends (and their lounging habits) and show us things in a new way.

In just the click of a camera, the following images manage to warm the heart, tickle the funny bone and, best of all, tell great stories.
