CHICAGO HEIGHTS | A student at Prairie State College recently received an honorable mention at the fourth annual English Language National Geographic International Photography Contest.
Bruce Peerson, of Crete, was recognized for his photo titled "Ice Land." More than 200,000 submissions from around the world were sent to the National Geographic Society's headquarters in Washington, D.C., and 21 people were given awards.
Peerson captured the photo in December 2008 while driving late at night in the south suburbs. He noticed the street was coated in ice and the street lights gave it a rare glow. Peerson submitted the photo, along with five others, to the contest last spring.
Peerson, who has pursued photography as a hobby for two years, would like to have a career in photography. He describes his work as unconventional and does not try to mimic other photographers.
