In early January, Shannon Greene and his family moved to Chapel Hill searching for refuge after a house fire and a motorcycle accident left the family of four searching for somewhere to call home. While nothing has come easy, with a little help and a lot of faith, the Greene’s have found a new home and a renewed sense of hope.

Photographer John W. Adkisson, sophomore, recently finished 5th in the second round of the Hearst Photojournalism Awards.

Since James Clerk Maxwell took the world’s first color photograph in 1861, photographers have obsessed over the artistic opportunities color offers, especially it’s ability to imbue emotion. But using color effectively, in a way that services the story, is not as simple as finding and saturating a vivid color, as we all learned this semester. This year’s Color of Life shootout winners are:

1. Lauren Cowart
2. Rachel Zubatch
3. Abby Keiper
4. Julie Ellison
5. Elyssa Sharp
