Merit Prize: Larry Louie, Edmonton, Alberta, CanadaNikon Coolpix Digital Camera and a Bogen National Geographic Prize PackageIn April 2007, Larry Louie visited remote villages in Gansu, a northern Chinese province. "It was between the end of winter and before any signs of spring. Everything was bleak and desolate." Louie was invited into a number of homes. "I was amazed at the dignity and gentleness of the people, and their incredible devotion to their faith. This elderly gentleman lives very simply in a hut with three generations of his family. He always has his prayer beads with him."
