The results of the Beacon’s annual Amateur Photo Contest are in, and our readers have made their choices! During balloting at Saturday’s Ocean Beach Street Fair and Chili Cook-Off, hundreds of votes were cast for 30 unique submissions — and the top two vote-getters were neck and neck. Coming in first with 125 votes (above) was this shot of a surfer perched at the base of what locals call Garbage Beach along Sunset Cliffs, submitted by Pat Rice. The second-place entry drew 120 votes for Robert Sarmiento’s creative cave shot at the Point Loma tidepools. Placing third with 61 votes was Bruce Walker’s beautifully lit surf shot. Congratulations to the winners and to all who participated. Many thanks also to our loyal readers who voted in this year’s contest.
