ExPat Awards
______________________________________________
Dr. Mark Donnelly, Winner of Best Website, Most Beautiful Book
These two awards go to Dr. Mark Donnelly who has used his photographic talents to capture the beauty, cultural texture, and heritage of the area photographically, and then disseminate the beautiful images he has created on a huge and exquisite website of his own creation, Cultural Niagara, but also the old fashioned way, in print, via his Buffalo Heritage Unlimited Publication, The Fine Art of Discovering Buffalo. We have chosen to recognize Donnelly separately for both of these creations, because in their virtual and hard copy formats, both are exquisitely and beautifully suited to keep ExPats linked to the Hometown, and perhaps, shedding a few homesick tears.
Best WebsiteWe can't do it justice in verbal description. In the words of T.S. Eliot from Prufrock, "..do not ask what is it? Let us go and make our visit."
Cultural Niagara.
Most Beautiful Book
The FIne Art of Capturing BuffaloBuffalo Heritage Unlimited
by Dr. Mark Donnelly
I have a signed copy of this
book on my living roon coffee tale, right next to another photo book about Havana, my wife's hometown. Thanks to Mark Donnelly,
the Buffalo volume holds its own-- at the very least-- with photos of Havana, past and present.
Of course there is one more connection to the ExPat Awards via this book. The publisher is
Marti Gorman, winner of our Most Amazing Repat Award.
