The Silver Award goes to cover with John Glenns Photography

Atlanta's own photojournalist John Glenn received silver award for the "Best Cover" category of the 2009 Alliance Editorial Excellence Awards.

Georgia Trend’s recent award winning cover—a stunning view of the intricately designed Chinese lanterns that stand outside Beijing’s famed Temple of Heaven—was shot by Atlanta’s own veteran photojournalist, John Glenn. Glenn’s cover received the silver-level award in the prestigious “Best Cover” category of the 2009 Alliance Editorial Excellence Awards. The Alliance of Area Business Publications (AABP), which proctors the contest, described it as “elegant” and “divine,” further adding that “there is a bit of heaven about this cover.” With over two decades’ worth of experience in photography, John Glenn carries an impressive résumé—which boasts one of the largest collections of New Orleans Jazz Fest photos; experience as an associate, assistant managing editor, director of photography, photo editor at the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Fort Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel and USA Today; time spent training journalists for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and countless other achievements—and the technical know-how that allows him to excel at capturing time and emotion in a photograph. . John Glenn is available on a project bases for commercial photography, portrait photography, and location photography.
