By Jenn Venerable - November 1, 2024

Dean Allman, the recipient of a cornea transplant from Aurora, Colorado, is one of four winners of a national photo contest through the Eye Bank Association of America. With over 100 entries, Allman's photo of an aerial dancer in Denver was chosen as the winner in the Activities & Hobbies category.

More about the contest and the other winners can be found on the Eye Bank Association of America site

Earlier this year, Allman sat down with the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank to share more about his story, from his early days in photography and when he realized he needed a corneal transplant. 

Allman's work can also be seen in the Circle of Light Photo Project. His beautiful images of birds in flight can be viewed at Denver International Airport through February 2025, as mentioned in a recent article in The Villager.
