"Did somebody mention my name?..."

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to win 2nd prize in this year's Art In Marylebone photography competition. The prizes were presented by the actress Olivia Williams, and here she is holding my photo which I took on Church St on St George's Day 2013. The judges said all sorts of nice encouraging things about the use of light and how it was a good example of classic street photography.
Most of all a major hat's off to Mick and his friend who after giving their permission to be photographed, simply ignored me and didn't play up to the camera.




In other exhibition news... earlier on in the day I popped down to see Caroline Kha's "The Tourist" at the dalla Rosa gallery in Clerkenwell. It includes re-written postcards, maps and works which depict some of the more "unvisited" places on our globe, volcanic islands and  mountain ranges. It's really interesting and also, the gallery is a great space.
