Jake Mitchell’s photo of four Italy sites reflected in sunglasses, not only won a Bosque Gallery exhibition’s Best in Show, but helped raise more than $1,200 for  study abroad scholarships at Lone Star College-CyFair.

Mitchell’s winning photo titled “What We Saw” included sites of Italy including the coastal city of Almalfi, the Coliseum, St. Peter’s Square and the Pantheon. Kelli Sue’s photo took first, Jennifer Giese’s took second, Alex Barocio’s took third and Cody Brautigam received an Honorable Mention.

The recent “Confluence: Study Abroad 2009” photo/art exhibition featured photos and art pieces representing students’ summer study abroad experiences, journeys and explorations around Italy and China. All gallery submissions were auctioned with proceeds supporting the LSC-CyFair Study Abroad Scholarship fund.
