Wallyhood Photo Contest Results…Almost

  • Post author:

We’re stuck. Back in January we announced a Wallingford Photo Contest. The rules were simple: photo to be taken in Wallingford of something in Wallingford during the time period the contest was open.

What isn’t simple is picking the winner. There were so many stunning photos submitted we’re stumped. We’ve managed to narrow it down to two photos, but now, dear readers, we turn to you. Here are the finalists. Please use the comments section to help us decide.

The Wallingford Photo Center has donated a free print and Frame Central a $100 gift certificate to the winner. We will add to the trove a jar of our own Wallingford Hive Mind Honey to the runner-up.

One judge, Heidi, commented that Gasworks Silhouette “is an emotional photograph with lots of interesting aspects and so many different contrasts: light and dark, hard and soft, nature and man-made. A very appealing shot.” On the other hand, of Watching over Meridian Park, she notes that it “seems to tells us a little story about the neighborhood. It is a clean, emotional and unexpected shot. I love the contrast of textures in this image!”

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.

    I’d like to vote for Meridian Park. It has a wonderful hushed feeling to it that reminds me of early weekend mornings in Wallingford.

    Can I vote if I don’t live in the neighborhood? If so, Gasworks Silhouette is my favorite.

    Gasworks pic without a doubt – where nature touches industry. Amazing timing!

    Gasworks silhouette – amazing shot. Love the Carl the Good Dog, too, but the lighting in the Gasworks image just speaks to me more.
