Amazingly only one person dead at 37 years old due to a drunk driver that fell asleep at the wheel.

Surely something more positive has happened or will happen to get an award for photography. Jockeys in midair and horses falling.

I'd fully expect that to get the prize.

Can someone link me to a site that has all of the past Eclipse Award winning photos? I google'd for it to no avail.
