Radio: Use of Sound
First Place: Around Noon: The Naked Truth: Spencer Tunick in Cleveland
David Hansen, Toni K. Thayer, Dave DeOreo, WCPN 90.3 FM
"A visual story told well with on the scene audio recording. You felt that you were with David and Toni experiencing their feelings and emotion."

The question was: Do you take a four-week old baby to an awards banquet attended by everyone in the Ohio media establishment? The answer is, of course, yes. Orson was extremely well-behaved (unlike, say, the staff of Cleveland Scene) and when he finally did lose patience near the end, it helped that emcee Jack Hourigan had already met him and assured everyone he is a beautiful baby with great parents.

Thank, Jack. Hope I pronounced your name right.

If you have never heard our Tunick audio diary, you can still find it here. You can also find that link on my own Spencer Tunick Page, which, for some odd reason, gets more hits than any other page on my site.

c'mon - don't you know anything involving nakedness gets the most hits on the internet?

congrats on the award.

oh, and it's great that orson outperformed the scene staff, although that's to be expected, but you didn't mention zelda, which leads me to reminding you that i'd be happy to sit with her on the dates we discussed - just let me know.

Congratulations on the award. And even more congratulations on a successful baby outing. The first was a slam-dunk, I'm sure. The second...more like you took a gamble and got VERY lucky. hehehe
