Lamps

It's a dream you've always had. You build a small cabin on a patch of land near the river. Though a few other cabins nestle nearby, you hardly can see them through the trees. With their planked sides, all the cabins blend into the woods and it's as if you had escaped the noise and glare of the modern world.

Then one evening you see your neighbor's cabin all lit up, as though someone were working into the night -- some construction on the roof, perhaps, or on the siding. Only the light never goes off.

NR staffer wins regional photography honor

Bronson's published photos beat out those of photographers from The Oregonian, The Seattle Times, The Anchorage Daily News, The Register-Guard, The Olympian and numerous others.

Bronson, who started with The News-Review in March 1999, had compiled enough points to be in the region's Top 10 three times before, but he never had made it this close to the top.

"It's nice to know people know you can do good work," he said.

Bronson learned of his top finish in an e-mail while on vacation in Cambodia. A fellow photojournalist from The Seattle Times alerted him to the news. He was visiting former N-R photographer Jerry Redfern and his wife, Karen Coates.

Bronson said the Graffiti photo and a photo of 4-H kids playing cards on the back of a cow lying in hay had received a lot of positive feedback from colleagues.
