It was announced last Sunday evening at the SXSW Web Awards Ceremony that Denver's Legwork Studio was one of the 19 winners at the prestigious 13th Annual SXSW Web Awards. Their company site was deemed 'best of' in the CSS category – a category that showcases sites that push the boundaries of CSS coding technology, bringing together top-notch design and content with standards compliant and accessible code. Huge accomplishment for Legwork and Denver. Send your resume over, they're hiring.

Marc Piscotty, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winning commercial and editorial photographer based here in Denver (who now specializes in food, portraits, sports and assignment based work after working as a staff photographer at the Rocky Mountain News from April 1999 until February 2007), recently visited Mexico and noticed a unique phenomenon worthy of a photo series. He explains:

"On my most recent trip driving to Sayulita, Mexico, I started to notice these tiny little cathedrals paying homage to certain patron Saints or the memory of a loved one that has since passed. Far from being overtly religious (I blame Catholic school for that!), I was immediately intrigued by them. I kept an eye out for these tiny capillas that dotted the sides of the roadways in the states of Sonora, Sinaloa and Nayarit. Their sizes ranged anywhere from a shoebox to well over three stories tall in every shape and size. Some were simple, easily-constructed brick or adobe structures and others were elaborate and expensive to build. I immediately realized that there was a picture series in these amazing little structures and the many items inside them."
