Photos from the field
September 26, 2011 By: Pit & Quarry StaffFrom flooded roads to widening cracks in their surfaces; from the fields to the factories to the work sites; to the faces of those Americans working every day to make our infrastructure better: It’s all documented in the colorful photos of AEM’s “Picture a Better America Photo Contest.” Through the contest, AEM sought to raise awareness of its "I Make America" campaign among congressional leaders and continue its push for more manufacturing jobs. Contest winners in four categories were honored earlier this month with a $250 prize during a reception on Capitol Hill. Julia Hoskins of Dexter, Ore.; Nicholas Klisch of Rapid City, S.D.; Macie Perry of Moreland, Ga.; and Christine Perkins of Manitowoc, Wis., snapped the best photos, according to contest judge Eric Draper, a former White House photographer. Take a look at their work and the impressive submissions of all entrants. – Brian Richesson
