USD Magazine Fall 2006

FIRST PRIZE This picture was taken in

Moscow in November of 2002. The child is anticipating get- ting across Red Square and into Saint Basil’s Cathedral. The legendary edifice (commissioned by Ivan the Terrible in 1555) had been recently repainted in a rich palette of color, inviting East to meet West in the new post-Communist era. While the tank-directing lines on the cobblestone remain as a reminder of less optimistic times, the child’s demeanor brings to life the vision of USD’s new Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice. — Julia Meyer Bell ’88 (J.D.)

SECOND PRIZE This is an image of Lucy Eagleson ’07 on a retreat at USD. Her joy and laughter shows, to me, a beautiful image of faith. The “University of Faith” is present and continuously pushing us to feel the joy and love visible on Lucy’s face. — Breanne Leach ’07

THIRD PRIZE This picture was taken during the San Diego fires in 2003. During this time, many in the USD community were affected by the blaze, which consumed thousands of houses throughout the county. The Immaculata church stands darkened against a smoky, orange sunset. Our church represented the hope and faith that the entire USD community embodied during such hard times. In front of the fiery sky, The Immaculata overlooks the entire campus and city, echoing the promise of peace and the importance of faith. — Brian Day ’07
