a wonderful image.

"West Yorkshire-based Blake, who wins ?12,000, did not begin his photographic career until seven years ago when he was 40, but his work has now been exhibited in six solo exhibitions."

Hope springs eternal...

I think, in fact, that the entire shortlist was made up of portraits shot on film...

Great news indeed. Did you see that the Wildlife Photographer of the Year prize was also won by a film photo? Maybe 2009 is the year we take back the world of photography.....(cough!) or maybe not. Have you seen the new D500?
