FEATURE PHOTOGRAPHY: PRESTON GANNAWAY

For photographs from the Concord Monitor of a family coping with terminal illness. See the multimedia presentation.

From the Monitor:

"Gannaway spent nearly five years as a Monitor photographer, where her assignments ranged from high school sports to presidential politics. Her work won numerous awards. In 2005, for example, she was named New England Photographer of the Year by the National Press Photographers Association. This year, the St. Pierre project won two awards in the prestigious Pictures of the Year International competition.

Before working for the Monitor, Gannaway was a photo intern at newspapers in New Mexico and Maine. She began her career at the Coalfield Progress in Virginia after earning a bachelor's degree in fine art photography at Virginia Intermont College.

Gannaway left the Monitor last month and - after a celebration in Concord today - starts a new job at the Rocky Mountain News in Denver this week."
