You Are Not Here Photo Contest Winners!

Thanks to everyone who submitted photos to the contest. It was great seeing through your eyes. Here are the three winning images.

Image #1
Name: Nicole Easterwood

Age: 20

Location: Alabama

What inspired this picture: The church my parents live down the road from has an amazing graveyard that includes a basketball court down from it and houses in the background. The atmosphere reminded me so much of what you describe in "You Are Not Here." From where Brian was playing basketball and died to Annaleah's visitation at his grave.

What quote from You Are Not Here is associated with this image: "Maybe you don't want to hear about this."

Image #2

Name: Heather Cole

Age: 19

Location: Tallapoosa, Georgia

What inspired this picture: I was inspired by Annaleah's feelings of needing to stay awake, and wanting to seal her eyes shut because she couldn't stop her crying.

What quote from You Are Not Here is associated with this image? "My eyes are burning they want to seal shut. They want a break from crying."

Image #3

Name: Amber McLain

Age: 18

Location: Grand Rapids, Michigan.

What inspired this picture? I saw that the leaves were falling because they were dying, so I decided to include them in the picture. By saying "nothing grows here besides grass," we are saying that even the living things here die, only the grass thriving.
