Stacy Hess, an eight year old
student at New Franklin Elementary
School in Chambersburg, Pa re­
ceived the top national honor for
Most Beautiful category photo.
M iss I less’ entry captured a ten­
der moment amid the stark colors o f
a spring day in Pennsylvania. With a
bold red barn and the blue sky as a
backdrop,
Miss Hess showed her younger
sister affectionately cradling a de­
lighted piglet at her parents’ farm.
Douglas Swafford, a seven year-
old and a resident o f Chula Vista,
Calif. (San Diego), was named na­
tional winner for his photo in the
Needs Improvement category.
Swafford’s photo o f a homeless
woman, who carries her belongings
in a shopping cart, reflects the type o f
innocence and bewilderment cap­
tured in many engaging photos. Yet
the image also reflects a subtle hope­
fulness.

narrates the instructional videotape
and serves as spokesperson for the
program.
“Learning the basics o f photog­
raphy is more than understanding
how to hold a camera steady, and to
keep fingers away from the lens. ‘ It’s
A Snap! ’ is an effective way to chal­
lenge children to explore their world
through the cam era’s viewfinder,”
said Shawn Kahle, Kmart’s Vice
President o f Corporate Affairs.
“Adding the childrens’ own pic­
tures into the learning process brings
a new dimension to their education.
This is visual literacy!” said Charles
Fischer, manager o f educational pro­
grams, Kodak Consumer Imaging.
“It’s a Snap! is one o f the many
ways Kmart demonstrates that edu­
cating children is an investment into
tomorrow. The program is part o f
“ Kmart Loves Kids” initiative to
educate and improve the lives o f
children.
