City Paper Photo Contest Update: We Have Winners!

Thanks to Darrow Montgomery and the miracle of the internet, we managed to snag three fantastic shots from a good-lookin’ Flickr pool. The winning shot graces our paper this morning as the page 3 photo.

Don Harris—a man not unfamiliar with page 3 glory—runs away with the grand prize thanks to this shot, taken on the 1400 block of P Street, NW :spaceball.gif
