Tribune-Review photographer Palla honored by Pro Football Hall of Fame

This photo by Tribune-Review photographer Chaz Palla of Steelers coach Mike Tomlin giving an earful to a referee last season was selected as Photograph of the Year for the 2016 NFL season. The photo, titled “Ear Full,” was selected by a panel of judges in the 49th Annual Pro Football Hall of Fame Photo Contest. Palla, 57, of Ross, was recognized in the same contest previously in the feature and action categories. Palla also has won numerous regional, statewide and national awards. He has been a Trib photographer since 1992. “This is a great honor for an exceedingly talented photographer,” said Sue McFarland, Tribune-Review executive editor. “We are happy for Chaz and grateful to the Hall of Fame for recognizing his extraordinary ability to capture the human spirit and emotion that are so much a part of sports.”
