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."

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?
