Holiday Photo Contest!
The Queens Chronicle’s Fourth Annual Holiday Photo Contest proved
one thing for sure — a lack of snow may be great for drivers,
pedestrians and those who work outdoors, but it makes photographing
December magic a bit more challenging! Still, we had some inspired
entries we’re glad to share with you here. Keep an eye out in late
spring for our announcement of our Fourth Annual Summer in the
Borough Contest; and a few months later we’ll see if snow will
provide a pretty backdrop for take five of our holiday competition.
Don’t you shutterbugs miss out on either one!

THE WINNER — ALL SMILES: Even without wintry precipitation
coming down, Charlene Stubbs of Maspeth found a snow-like white
backdrop for this charming shot of her holiday-happy daughter,
Carly Stubb-Delgado, in front of a neighbor’s decorated home. Now
they’ll get to see an entertaining show like “My Sinatra,” or maybe
a circus, courtesy of the Chronicle. Congratulations!

ON THE NICE LIST: The visit with Santa is always a highlight of
Christmas, as Ethan Daniel Abreu of Ozone Park found out. His
mother, Christy Mastoras, took the shot — as well as another one of
their dog, Zeus, meeting the man in the big red suit.

SKYROCKETS AT NIGHT: Steve Fisher of Middle Village, a past
winner of our contests, found that indeed that banner does yet wave
o’er the land of the free and the home of the brave, even as
fireworks opened the nation’s 236th year.

COZY KITTY: If you like cats, you know how much they love to
find a new lair, like Baby Doll did on Christmas morning at Barbara
Rueckher’s home in Glendale. And if you don’t like cats ... coal in
your stocking!

NO PULLING: Santa went casual with jeans to walk two of his
reserve sleigh pullers off Austin Street in Forest Hills, in this
shot sent anonymously from bankrbarb@aol.com. They may not fly, but
we bet they move fast when they want to!

GIFT OF GRATITUDE: Helina Cheung of Bayside has been praying for
the return of U.S. forces from overseas and could think of no
better gift for them and their families than President Obama’s
announcement of the pullout from Iraq. Her message will get
worldwide reach once these shots are posted on qchron.com.

IN DARKNESS, LIGHT: Frank Deak achieved a dreamy, surreal effect
with his artistic black-and-white photo of a highly decorated house
on 90th Street in Elmhurst, to our enjoyment.
