Great News to Come Home To


Following my holiday to Rhodes and the unfortunate accident with my camera (I'm awaiting a call from the insurance company to see what can be done) I returned home to some fantastic news.


I submitted the adjacent picture to Digital SLR Photography magazine for one of their monthly competitions and they rate the picture that you send it. It is graded in four ways:


1.Ungraded

2.Pass

3.Merit

4.Distinction


The theme was for an Environmental Portrait and I managed to get and Pass. It is great to get some recognition from the magazine and I'm really chuffed to have been given a grade.


The the picture is of a homeless gent who I often see around my office in the centre of Leeds. Unfortunately I have not seen him since I took the picture, though I keep one in my bag so that I can give one to him.
