PHOTO BLOG: Gingerbread House Contest

Print Comment
By SEAN STEFFEN

For several years now, when the Christmas season begins, I get an assignment to go and photograph gingerbread houses that have been entered in the Pittsburg State University Office of Alumni and Constituent Relations annual gingerbread contest. I do photograph the houses, but what I always end up photographing and what attracts my eye the most are the details. All of the little things that add up to make the big picture and give the houses their character. I love creativity and there was plenty to be found in the gingerbread house creations entered in the contest this year. I have added a link below to a photo gallery of images from the houses entered.

Pittsburg residents Rinnah Emmerling and her brother, Josiah, built this massive gingerbread house that was inspired by a castle in Osaka, Japan. There were 14 gingerbread house entries in this year’s contest, which is sponsored annually during Thanksgiving week by Pittsburg State University’s Office of Alumni and Constituent Relations.

Pittsburg resident Christy Perez and her family went to a candy store to find inspiration for their gingerbread house, but used other items, including these pretzel logs, to complete the seasonal look.
